The authors dream was to become president of the United States. The authors family was a really poor family from Winston-Salem. His town revolved around tobacco products. His family was extremely racist as his uncles and cousins were in the KKK. He lived in the south and explained how southerners are judged because of their style and such. He was also gay so he went through a lot of social impact because of that.
His quote says some people aren't yet really free to reach certain goals because of aspects that hold them down. Everyone should be able to have a chance at being president if they work hard enough. Being rich and white shouldn't give anyone a advantage to becoming president. Just because you are poor and gay doesn't mean your are not a "real" American. This society is so diverse that when judging people their shouldn't be any standards because we are all Americans and should have a fair chance to achieve anything in life.
