I choose to do my paper on Condoleeza Rice because of her position of leadership in the United States Government, her rise to position, and the obstacles that she as a black woman had to overcome. Condoleeza Rice was born on November 14, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama. She grew up under the shadow of segregation. "She has often said that to get ahead she had to be "twice as good" and her childhood chiseled her strong determination and self-respect. Taught by her parents that education provided armor against segregation and prejudice, Rice worked her way to college by the age of 15. She graduated at 19 from the University of Denver with a degree in political science". She continued her schooling earning her master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded honorary doctorates from Morehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabama in 1994, and the University of Notre Dame in 1995. .
Trained as a girl to be a concert pianist and a competitive ice skater Rice is under girded by her Christian beliefs. She was a preacher's kid, so Sundays they were church. The church was the center of their lives. In segregated black Birmingham of the late 1950s and early 1960s, the church was not just a place of worship. It was the place where families gathered; it was the social center of the community, too. In a quote from the Washington Times Rice states "Among American leadership, there are an awful lot of people who travel in faith. It's a remarkable thing and I think it probably sets us apart from most developed countries where it is not something that is appreciated quite as much in most of the world.".
As a professor of political science, Dr. Rice joined the Stanford faculty in 1981 and won two of its highest teaching honors - the 1984 Walter J.

"Martin Luther King and his View of the American Dream" Introduction The reason why I have chosen the topic "Martin Luther King and his view of the American Dream" for my research paper has its roots in my early childhood.
