Obama Family Attends Wedding in Chicago

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)
President Barack Obama took a break from campaigning and political sparring with Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney yesterday to attend the Chicago wedding of top political adviser Valerie Jarrett’s daughter.
Obama, accompanied by his wife, Michelle Obama, and daughters Sasha and Malia, strolled to the wedding from their own home just a few houses away from the festivities on Chicago’s South Side, where Laura Jarrett married fellow Harvard Law School grad Tony Balkissoon. Laura’s mother, Valerie Jarrett, is a one-time lawyer and close political advisor and friend of the Obamas.
The wedding’s guest list read like a veritable who’s who in politics: attending alongside the Obamas was Attorney General Eric Holder, big bucks Obama fundraiser and Ariel Investments chief executive John Rogers, and civil rights activist Vernon Jordan, a former adviser to former President Bill Clinton.
Obama, dressed in a beige suit, the First Lady, wearing a dress with a beautiful gray-sparkled bodice and flowing, pleated cream-colored skirt, and Sasha and Malia, styled in green and yellow dresses respectively, navigated a tightly-secured perimeter in their old neighborhood, which saw guests and cars swept by Secret Service officials charged with protecting the First Family.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
