Why Obama Matters


These two boys waited as a long line of adults greeted Senator Obama before a rally on Martin Luther King Day in Columbia, S.C. They never took their eyes off of him. Their grandmother told me, "Our young men have waited a long time to have someone to look up to, to make them believe Dr. King's words can be true for them." Jan. 21, 2008.

This photo is from a wonderful series for Time magazine by Callie Shell who photographed Obama since 2004. See the whole series here.
