Raised by his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and his grandparents, he was exposed to diverse cultures and traditions, instilling in him values of tolerance, diversity, and inclusiveness that later became fundamental to his political beliefs.
Chicago, with its blend of communities and socioeconomic struggles, became the testing ground for Barack Obama's community organizing skills.
