Various Barack Obama family images
THE OBAMA FAMILY'S MULTICULTURAL MIX
These intimate family pictures give a glimpse into the life of a man who aims to make history as the first black American president - Barack Obama.
The images highlight the multicultural and extended nature of the family that the Senator from Chicago enjoys.
Obama was born in Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Kenyan, and Ann Dunham, a white American from Wichita, Kansas.
The couple separated when Obama was two years old and later divorced.
While Obama's father returned to Kenya his mother married Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia.
This union produced Obama's half-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng.
On his father's side, the Obamas are members of the Luo tribe, which is Kenya's third-largest ethnic group.
Obama's father produced six sons and a daughter; his children with his first wife, and Obama's stepmother, Kezia, include sons Roy (now known as Abong'o), Bernard, and Abo, and daughter Auma.
He also had two further two sons with a different woman.

From the street , the shop looks like a relic , slowly design from lack of custom . There is no bustle , no neon, and certainly there's never a queue ; yet it is to Lock's that the Duke of Windsor , the Duke of Edinburgh , the Duke of Norfolk , Sir Anthony Eden , and most of the names from Debrett come for their headgear .

FEATURE - Blick zurück: Lunchtime im Central Park in den 50er Jahren
Lunchtime in Central Park .
How do you spend that lunch hour? Those 60 minutes set aside during the day for for the office and factory worker , chairman and director to attend the works canteen , sandwiches in the park or the exclusive restaurant . In New York the millions of workers blazon a trail to their famous and picturesque Central Park . Summer or winter Central Park is the haven in which to spend that one precious hour . A hamburger and a cup of coffee at Joe's diner - then quickly to the park . If the winter sunshine deigns to break through the New Yorker's lunch hour is a blissful period of relaxation . And there is much to delight and interest the eye . A myriad of characters and events for the watchful . Suitably refreshed the workers are ready for the afternoon's spell of work .
Picture shows:- It is also a good place to give the cat a ride . Blasé New Yorkers pay little heed to such sights . The cat is more interested in them than they are the cat .
