I’m Barack Obama, remembering Charles Hamilton Houston
The future president appeared on a televised “Black History Minutes” segment in 1991, the same year he graduated from Harvard law school. Obama acted in his capacity as editor of the Harvard Law Review. He was the first African-American who filled that role. (seems Houston came before Obama}
Yesterday a video appeared of a thirty-year-old Obama when he was part of Black History Month. He discusses the accomplishments of Charles Hamilton Houston, the African-American lawyer who taught Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
