SUMMARY:American Dream Deferred: Black Federal Workers in Washington\, DC\, 1941-1981 with Dr. Frederick Gooding\, Jr.

SUMMARY:Yes We Did: Photos And Behind-the-Scenes Stories Celebrating Our First African American President with Lawrence Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate President’s Day with White House photographer Lawrence Jackson who covered President Barack Obama over his eight years in office.

Yes We Did is filled with Lawrence’s intimate photographs and reflections\, as well as first-person recollections from President Obama. For anyone who misses the humanity\, grace\, and undefinable “cool factor” of the Obama White House\, this warm and inspiring book provides an affirming\, proud\, and focused lens on our history. \nLawrence Jackson is a freelance photographer covering events in the Washington\, D.C. area and beyond. Jackson was the official White House Staff photographer for President Barack Obama and continues to cover events for the Biden-Harris Elect Team. \nProgram Time: 7PM EST \nClick Here to Register  \nCost: Free
