Former US basketball player Earvin "Magic" Johnson poses for photos with other attendees after US President Barack Obama spoke on his My Brothers Keeper initiative in the East Room at the White House on February 27, 2014 in Washington, DC. Obama launched a passionate appeal to improve opportunities for minority youths, saying their plight was an "outrage" that could easily have become his story. Obama cited statistics showing young Blacks and Hispanics in the US were, on average, disadvantaged throughout their lives.
