Was Reconstruction America's greatest missed opportunity—or the beginning of a story that's still being written? President Barack Obama joins Malcolm Gladwell for a thoughtful conversation about the period after the Civil War, exploring why Reconstruction remains one of the most misunderstood chapters in American history. From Frederick Douglass and the Compromise of 1877 to voting rights, public education, and today's debates over democracy, they examine how the past continues to echo in the present. It's a conversation about history, progress, and why democracy is never a finished project. Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise is hosted by Malcolm Gladwell and Barack Obama. You can find the full series of Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Reconstruction-The-Unfinished-Promise-Audiobook/B0H1XNYX2C?srsltid=AfmBOooReXVDwdTH2dsfST8lkKG7W4bE_j003NAlzoCNHca4vpXPJO2Z About Reconstruction: An Unfinished Promise Reconstruction begins where, for most Americans, the story of the Civil War ends: The North is victorious and slavery is abolished. But what happened next was one of the most important decades in American history, a moment when our country grappled with its original sin and imagined — and briefly enacted — a more perfect union. Drawing from archives, letters, diaries, court records, eyewitness testimonies and some of America’s most accomplished scholars and storytellers, Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise explores this unprecedented historical moment in rich, kaleidoscopic detail. The series unpacks a time when a determined band of reformers attempted to radically reimagine American society — from the Constitution to the roots of its economy to the very nature of citizenship itself. Reconstruction was a time when Americans struggled over fundamental questions about our country. Who gets to be a citizen? Who has the right to vote? Who can own property? In short, who belongs? Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise explores what America might have looked like if Reconstruction had truly succeeded, and how the ultimate backlash to Reconstruction prevented our country from becoming a truly multiracial democracy. Guiding us through this extraordinary moment in American history is best-selling author and host of Revisionist History Malcolm Gladwell. He’ll have help from luminaries, historians, and storytellers such as President Barack Obama, Jelani Cobb, Wyatt Cenac, David Blight, Kai Wright, Kellie Carter Jackson, Ashley C. Ford, Manisha Sinha, Kidada Williams, and Eric Foner. This is a series about why America has yet to make good on the promise of Reconstruction, and how it still might.

Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively, Barack and Michelle Obama get candid about "ups and downs" in their nearly 34-year marriage, their "cooler and smarter" daughters and their legacy. The former president shares his first impressions of Michelle, calling her “a one-of-a-kind woman” whose integrity, intelligence and values made him a better person, while she explains why they have always been “each other’s counterbalance.” Together, they look back on the life they built—from raising Malia and Sasha in the White House, to Barack’s reflections on becoming America’s first Black president, the hopes he carried when he was first elected and the optimism he still has for the future. The couple also reflect on the Obama Presidential Center and their deep connection to the South Side of Chicago, the neighborhood where they married, celebrated milestones and mourned losses. Emotional, funny and heartfelt, the Obamas share intimate stories about love, family and the belief that the next generation has the talent and potential to remake the world.
