Description

Felt tip signature, "Barack Obama," on a 6 x 9 page, on which a copy of the conclusion from his famous letter to a schoolteacher has been printed; the beginning of the letter is included on a same-size sheet of mock White House stationery. The text, in part: "I am who I am today only because I was raised by a strong mother who worked hard and sacrificed to make sure I got a good education. So the first thing I'd say is that your boys are very fortunate to have you…Every single thing I do as President is aimed at making sure every child in America has the same opportunities this country gave me. A good education. Caring mentors who kept me on the straight and narrow. Safe places to learn and grow. I couldn't agree more with you that we need to train and support more excellent teachers like you, and pay them what they truly deserve. We've got to do more to keep our kids safe from gun violence. We've got to do more to close the school-to-prison pipeline. We know that boys and young men of color face some of the toughest odds. That's why I created the My Brother's Keeper initiative to make sure that all of our children, no matter their background, have the chance to achieve their dreams." In fine condition, with trimmed edges.
