A new CNN special promo highlights just some of the wins, disappointments and controversies that contribute to the first Black president’s complicated legacy. 

Journalist Fareed Zakaria will discuss those defining events with the president in "CNN Special Report: The Legacy of Barack Obama." The promo above shows Zakaria asking Obama about the Islamic State‘s rise, intercut with footage of American- and Gadsen-flag-waving protestors chanting against the Affordable Care Act and images of a Sandy Hook massacre memorial.

"CNN Special Report: The Legacy of Barack Obama" airs this Wednesday, December 7 at 9 p.m.
