Lawrence Jackson is a former official White House staff photographer for President Barack Obama, and currently serves as the official White House photographer for Vice President Kamala Harris.
When Lawrence Jackson took the job as White House photographer
in early 2009, he knew he’d have a front row seat to history. What
he didn’t expect was the deep personal connection he would feel, as
a fellow African American, with the President of the United
States.
Yes We Did is filled with Lawrence’s intimate
photographs and reflections, as well as first-person recollections
from President Obama, everyday citizens, and notable personalities
including Bono, Stephen Curry, Valerie Jarrett, Admiral Mike
Mullen, and others. The book is a celebration of the most inclusive
and representative White House in history – where in between
momentous and pivotal decisions, the President and First Lady
opened the doors of the People’s House to schoolkids, athletes,
senior citizens, hip-hop artists, and more.
