He went on to explain that former President Barack Obama’s book “Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope” remains a key source of perseverance, even when elections don’t have the preferred result. “The idea that a man with a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas could become president of the United States, it was one of the most hopeful moments from the story of the American dream,” Malek said.
