Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A journalist announced last week that he will publish a photograph of then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama (D) and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan that he took in 2005 at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting, but did not make public because he believed it would have \u201cmade a difference\u201d to Obama\u2019s political future.<\/em><\/p>\n

The photographer, Askia Muhammad,\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0the Trice Edney News Wire that he \u201cgave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was President, it was kept under cover,\u201d Muhammad said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Asked whether he thought the photo\u2019s release would have affected Obama\u2019s presidential campaign, Muhammad said, \u201cI insist. It absolutely would have made a difference.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
