Barack Obama 1991 TBS Black History video

Internet users are enjoying a 1991 television spot in which Obama — then a student at Harvard Law School — talks about pioneering African-American lawyer Charles Hamilton Houston.

Obama – longer hair, no gray – taped the spot as part of the “Black History Minute” series run by the TBS cable station in 1991.

Who could have guessed the heights that young man would have reached in less than two decades?
