Valerie Jarrett’s extraordinary family tree

White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett plays a unique role in Washington. But as 60 Minutes explores, she’s not the first in her family to make history

Correspondent Norah O’Donnell interviews Valerie Jarrett, President Obama’s senior advisor and close personal friend. Jarrett’s been at his side for the past seven years and, unlike some staff members, she plans to stay there.

“I came in knowing I was going to stay until the end, if the president would have me,” she tells O’Donnell.

“That’s the commitment that I made to him.”But how did Jarrett become such a powerful figure in the White House? Where did she get her political instincts and steely resolve? As O’Donnell explains in the 60 Minutes Overtime video above, it might have something to do with her trailblazing family.
