    He did it! Barack Obama has rightfully earned the historic title of President-elect! Ebony magazine conducted the first interview and photo shoot with “Mr. President” since his Nov. 4 victory. The exclusive interview is the centerpiece of Ebony magazine’s January 2009 special collector’s edition, which chronicles the rise of Barack Obama to one of the most powerful positions in the world.

    “We won because the American people mobilized for change. We had a great campaign, great volunteers, great staff. But it really was people at a grassroots level who carried our campaign financially, who carried it organizationally, and we don’t want that to dissipate,² Obama said during a Nov. 13 exclusive interview.

Complete with never-before-seen photos, insightful commentaries from all age groups and Barack Obama in his own words ­it’s a piece of history you don’t want to miss.

    The only other time Ebony magazine changed the color of its logo was when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. died, and the logo was made Black.
