This article contextualizes the narrative of the US President Barack Obama to provide an understanding of critical personal narrative (CPN) and its use in mainstream curricula. The authors contend that Barack Obama's narrative serves as a means to understand racial hegemony and the politics of representation in a curricular setting. Through providing an understanding of CPN it is suggested that educational opportunities exist for African American students to rewrite their own educational narratives and for educational practitioners to facilitate this process. In so doing, they are documenting the unfolding present, looking onward to the future yet to be realized
