Yes We Did: Photos And Behind-the-Scenes Stories Celebrating Our First African American President with Lawrence Jackson

February 15, 2021

Celebrate President’s Day with White House photographer Lawrence Jackson who covered President Barack Obama over his eight years in office. When Lawrence Jackson took the job as White House photographer in early 2009, he knew he’d have a front row seat to history. What he didn’t expect was the deep personal connection he would feel, as a fellow African American, with the President of the United States. 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.

Lawrence 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.
