Barack Obama is one of eight of men that Ebony recognizes as the coolest brothas of all time in a ground breaking issue, set to hit the stands Tuesday July 8th:
For the first time ever, Ebony magazine presents not one, not two, but eight quintessential covers to celebrate the 25 coolest Black men of all time. Jay-Z, Barack Obama, Prince, Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Marvin Gaye, Muhammad Ali and Billy Dee Williams take center stage as they personify Black cool on the covers of this historic collector’s edition. From their sleek, debonair styles to their smooth-as-silk personas, these magnificent Black men have conveyed, captured, and conquered the quintessence of cool while making it appear effortless.
What a hot picture!!
Although his most famous character was perceived as a negative persona, the actor himself was intelligent, introspective and cool. I would have picked Ron O’Neal over Richard Roundtree.
