The Historic Journey Continues: Barack Obama aka “Mr. President”

Special Collector’s Edition: Barack Obama named Person of the Year

He did it! Barack Obama has rightfully earned the historic title of President-elect! EBONY magazine conducted the first print interview and photo shoot with “Mr. President” since his Nov. 4 victory. The exclusive interview is the centerpiece of EBONY magazine’s January 2009 special collector’s edition, which chronicles the rise of Barack Obama to one of the most powerful positions in the world.

“We won because the American people mobilized for change. We had a great campaign, great volunteers, great staff. But it really was people at a grassroots level who carried our campaign financially, who carried it organizationally, and we don’t want that to dissipate,” Obama said during a Nov. 13 exclusive interview.

The January 2009 issue of EBONY magazine is a history buff’s dream and a collector’s treasure! Complete with never-before-seen photos, insightful commentaries from all age groups and Barack Obama in his own words – it’s a piece of history you don’t want to miss.
