President Barack Obama in the private dining room of the White House, Washington, DC, USA

This photograph was printed in 2020 for Magnum Square Prints, as part of a benefit sale--half the proceeds went to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

The artist writes: it's hard not to be discouraged. I search for glimpses of hope that hate will not win out. As frustrated and angry as I am at the moment by the face of America, I do find comfort in the fact that it is still a place that could elect a named Barack Hussein Obama. That means something. I am grateful that my children were able to witness that America.
