President Obama made history in 2008 as the first African American president in U.S. history. President Obama gives a keynote address during the Civil Rights Summit at the LBJ Presidential Library on the University of Texas campus in Austin, Texas, USA, 10 April 2014. While whites and Hispanics are far more likely to describe Obama as mixed race, a strong majority of African Americans see him as black. And black voters voted in historically large numbers for Obama. He won 93 percent of the African American vote in 2012 and 95 percent among that group in 2008. Obama, for his part, struggled for much of his life in how to define himself racially with a Kansas-born white mother and a Kenyan father.
