Ebony Magazine Lays Claim
Ebony magazine yesterday conducted the first interview and photo shoot with President-elect Barack Obama since his WH victory. From a magazine release, which followed news that 60 Minutes would air the first interview with Obama Sunday evening:
The exclusive interview and cover shoot, held at the headquarters of Johnson Publishing Co. in Chicago, will be the centerpiece of Ebony magazine’s January 2009 commemorative issue, which goes on sale nationwide Tuesday, December 9.
President-elect Obama spoke to Ebony magazine editorial director Bryan Monroe on a wide range of issues, including his historic election and international reaction, the future of America and how he hopes to tap the enthusiasm of the millions of supporters who have been mobilized by his election.
“I’m very humbled by the fact that I stand on the shoulders of all the people who made these incredible contributions to lift this country up,” Obama told Ebony on Thursday.
