Throughout, there will be profiles of important figures in Obama's life and the campaign- Valerie Jarrett, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, his parents and grandparents, and Michelle Obama. Obama's own writing, from his memoirs and speeches across the country, will be included, along with what will surely be an iconic, groundbreaking speech-his Inauguration Day speech.
