This little boy and Obama create indelible image during Black History Month celebration


Clark Reynolds got to go to where the president lives Thursday.

Clark, 3, made sure to take his favorite book, "The White House Pop-Up Book" with him, according to The Washington Post.

He was one of many at the White House's Black History Month celebration, the final event with the country's first black president still in office.

Clark somehow made it to the front of a velvet rope and became the subject of an indelible moment captured by chief official White House photographer Pete Souza, according to The Washington Post.

The little boy, clad in a suit and tie, looks up at the president, whose outstretched hand gently touches the boy's cheek.

Obama bent down and briefly spoke with the boy as he straightened Clark's tie, according to The Washington Post. The president also signed his book.
