Brandon McFarland is a college student living in Oakland. 

His dad Ronny McFarland does social work as a case manager for the city of San Francisco.

As a black man of 58, Ronny was part of the Civil Rights movement, hoping one day he’d see black homeowners in upscale neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now he’s waiting eagerly to see whether America will elect Barack Obama.   

Starting out as somewhat skeptical, Brandon wanted to get his father's perspective on the Presidential election; he gathered up his Youth Radio production gear and they had this conversation.
