Hair Like Mine

Common card · No. 251778

Hair Like Mine is a 2009 photograph by Pete Souza of a five-year-old child, Jacob Philadelphia, touching the head of Barack Obama, then president of the United States. Obama invited Philadelphia to touch his hair after the boy asked whether Obama's hair was similar to his own kinky hair. Time called the image "iconic", and it was later described by First Lady Michelle Obama as symbolizing progress made in the African-American struggle for civil rights.
