The Black and Progressive Sociologists for Obama blog supported the Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama in 2008. As we approach a new election season, there is a need to examine the political climate in the "age of Obama." The goal of the white nationalist Tea Parties and the Republicans is to “make Obama fail.” From the left, the President is perceived as “selling out.” The blog will explore this dialectic when it comes to re-election of America's first African American president.

“W. E. B. DuBois started to teach so that Rosa Parks could take a seat. Rosa Parks took a seat so that we could all take a stand. We all took a stand so that Martin Luther King, Jr. could march. Martin Luther King, Jr. marched so that Jesse Jackson could run. Jesse Jackson ran so that Barack Obama could win!”

Welcome to the Black and Progressive Sociologists for Obama Blog
- RGN
- Welcome to this blog on behalf of Black and Progressive Sociologists for Obama. The purpose of this blog is to serve as resource for our work, as sociologists, in promoting the Presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama. Senator Obama represents a chance for a New America and New World. Rather than politics as usual, his candidacy is a political movement for change in America. His candidacy is in the ascendancy. He represents hope for the future. Personally, I am Robert Newby, Professor Emeritus Central Michigan. On behalf of this working group of black and progressive sociologists committed to the election of Senator Barack Obama for President, I am serving as editor of this blog. Feel free to submit or recommend relevant sources for the site. For more information on the working group and its signatories see the purpose at the end of the blog. Contact: rnewby07@charter.net. For information on the working group contact Donald Cunnigen at: donaldcunnigen@cox.net

BLACK AND PROGRESSIVE SOCIOLOGISTS FOR OBAMA
WORKING GROUP
Purpose
The Black and Progressive Sociologists for Obama Working Group (Working Group) was established to support the Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama. The Working Group was conceived as an effort to provide support, albeit limited support, to the Obama Campaign. Given the demands of academic life and the limited resources of sociologists, the Working Group members hoped to provide support to the Obama Campaign through a variety of campaign activities that would offer assistance within the framework of their professional lives, such as, e-mail blasts, monetary contributions, and engaging colleagues and others in small social gatherings.
The Working Group has made contact with the Obama Campaign. The Black and Progressive Sociologists for Obama Working Group Blog has been established as a forum to discuss the campaign and efforts to promote the candidate.
It is realized that academics do not have a lot of time for a political campaign. Similarly, we do not have a lot of financial resources. However, every little bit helps.
Please feel free to offer any suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
