Obama interview circa 1995

This is a series of videos taken from an interview with Barack Obama somewhere around 1995 after his book Dreams from my Father was published. He was interviewed by Connie Martinson on what seems to be a local access or university channel. If you’ve payed attention during the recent campaigning, you’ll find that Obama has remained a very consistent voice for the strengthening of communities and uniting of people from different backgrounds.
