RICKEY SMILEY INTERVIEWS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

​Watch and listen to Rickey Smiley's  chat with President Barack Obama about his new book, A Promised Land. 

GET A PROMISED LAND BY BARACK OBAMA

A Promised Land extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
