Photographs of President Barack Obama's first year in the White House are now on display at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.

The exhibit includes almost 80 photographs taken by chief official White House photographer Pete Souza and 35 watercolors documenting African-American history from colonial times to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The two shows are running together under the title "365 Days, 390 Years In The Making.'

"We think that this is one of those culminating moments in African-American history and that the exhibition on Barack Obama again gives African-Americans the opportunity to see something that I, quite frankly, never thought I would see in my lifetime," said Howard Dodson of the Schomburg Center.

The exhibit runs through April 18.
