Barack
Hussein Obama (born August 4, 1961) is the junior United States Senator
from Illinois and a member of the Democratic Party. The U.S. Senate
Historical Office lists him as the fifth African American Senator in
U.S. history and the only African American currently serving in the
U.S. Senate. Born to a Kenyan father and an American mother, Obama grew
up in culturally diverse surroundings. He spent most of his childhood
in the majority-minority U.S. state of Hawaii and lived for four years
in Indonesia. After graduating from Columbia University and Harvard Law
School, Obama worked as a community organizer, university lecturer, and
civil rights lawyer before entering politics. He served in the Illinois
Senate from 1997 to 2004, launching his campaign for U.S. Senate in
2003. Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic
National Convention while still an Illinois state legislator.
