Sharee Johnson is huge Barack Obama supporter (she has four Obama buttons on her school bag) and thinks he's a great role model for everyone. But in her neighborhood a lot of teenagers drop out of high school and wind up in trouble.
So she wanted to find out: will Barack Obama, the first African-American presidential nominee, inspire young African-Americans and other minorities to stay in school? And does his success signal the end of racism in America?
