Celebrity Friday, Barry Obama (circa 1979)
This picture of 17-year-old Barack "Barry" Obama at his senior prom has been making the rounds. It was taken just a few months before he would start school at Occidental College in Los Angeles (where I teach).
I think it is an interesting enough picture that it should be today's Celebrity Friday. Can you tell that he would become the first Black president of the United States? I can't! I wonder where the other people in the picture are now?
