*Exhibition Hall/Window Gallery*
*Through April 19, 2009*
*Obama: The Historic Campaign and Victory in Photos *
*Latimer/Edison Gallery*

*Obama: The Historic Campaign & Victory in Photos presents 100 Photographs
documenting the campaign from its start with several thousand supporters
gathered in Springfield, Illinois on a very cold day in February 2007 to
that unusually warm evening in Chicago on November 4, 2008 when Barack Obama
delivered his victory speech as President-elect of the United States of
America. The images capture the vitality of the campaign and the passion and
commitment of the millions who rallied to Obama's theme, Yes We Can!, as his
movement for Change grew and moved forward. The exhibition is curated by
Deborah Willis and Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe.*
