The celebrations have ended. And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun. The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations? Obamas victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model.

It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “Thats not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “Its actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.” In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obamas rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US. “When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the presid
