For the Books: 'The American President'

20090121-truman-450.jpg
THIS WEEK: This is the week Barack Obama becomes president — and you'd better believe people are documenting it in video, audio, and most definitely photographs.

Keeping up with the inaugural spirit, the Associated Press will be showcasing around 80 photos of our nation's presidents — including some Pulitzer Prize winners — at the Armour J. Blackburn Gallery.

AP photographers are responsible for capturing a series of memorable presidential moments. The exhibit, entitled "The American President," is where you'll be able to see the famous "Dewey Defeats Truman" photo — where Harry S. Truman holds up the Chicago Tribune's epic fail of a misprint — among other iconic images.
