10:00Readers' Review: "Dreams from My Father" by Barack Obama (Rebroadcast)

As the first black president of the "Harvard Law Review," Barack Obama received an advance from a publisher in 1995 to write a book. He decided to tell the story of his family in the hopes it might help people understand the fissures of race, class, and identity in America. Diane invites listeners to join a Readers' Review of our 44th President's first memoir.

Guests

Mark Whitaker, senior vice president & Washington bureau chief, NBC News

Lisa Page, freelance writer who teaches creative writing at George Washington University.

Kate Lehrer, author, most recently of "Confessions of a Bigamist."
