Obama: The Historic Campaign in
Photographs by Kevin Merida
Mcclanahan
Through 150 striking color photographs, Obama: The Historic Campaign in
Photographs charts the road to Barack Obamas nomination as the first
African American to lead the presidential ticket of a major party.
Announcing his campaign in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007,
Obama stood on the grounds of the Old State Capitol, where Abraham
Lincoln delivered his famous House Divided speech against slavery in
1858. During an eighteen-month campaign, from the snows of Iowa to the
hunt for Democratic superdelegates, this junior senator from Chicago
confounded the party establishment and rewrote the playbook on modern
presidential campaigning. This amazing collection of photographs captures
the public and private moments of his journey, and offers a unique window
into one of the great triumphs in American politics.
