Eric Holders days as attorney general are numbered. And in an interview with ABC News Pierre Thomas, he reflected on his six years leading a department that he first started working for at the age of 25, as a lawyer fresh out of Columbia Law School.

Leaving the department is bittersweet ... in the truest sense of the word, Holder said, adding theres some satisfaction in being the nations first African-American attorney general.

I am aware of the historical significance of my appointment, Holder conceded. I am hoping that I've done a job that would make proud the people who made it possible; the people who sacrificed, the people who struggled, the people who dreamed, the people who gave their lives. I owe a special something to them.

Nevertheless, Holder, 64, has had his ups and downs, and his share of controversies. Heres how he described to ABC News some particular moments of his tenure:
