The Obama Years: A Nine-Part Oral History

Created to coincide with on-air programming on the HISTORY channel, this responsive web project was comprised of two interviews with President Barack Obama both before and after the 2016 Presidential election. This nine-part oral history is the President’s first-hand account of his time in office–his successes, his failures, his unfinished business–and what he hopes will be his legacy. Including additional interviews with 24 members of his staff, Congress, and the press, The Obama Years is a profound and candid historical record of the President and his administration as they weigh in on their proudest moments, their regrets and the belief that they left it all on the field.
