President Obama kisses poet and author Maya Angelou after giving her the 2010 Medal of Freedom in the East Room of the White House February 15, 2011 in Washington, DC.

This photo is making me teary.  The history of it–a Black president and a Black woman recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  The moment of friendship, gratitude, mutual love and respect, and honor all captured in their faces and hands.
