A historical line can be drawn from South Carolina's Low Country cabins to Michelle Obama, charting an American family's improbable journey through slavery, segregation, the civil-rights movement and a historic presidential election.
reaction @ MichelleObamawatch:
For most of us not born into great material means, education has been the pathway to greater economic freedom. It is my hope that we don’t get too caught up in where she’s come from but how, with the steadfast support of her family, Michelle Obama completed college at Princeton University, graduated from Harvard Law school, became a lawyer and is now anchoring the future first family of the United States of America. Our most disenfranchised young people need both inspiration and step-by-step guidance to move away from hopelessness toward excellence.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I'm interested in what you think of the upward mobility Michelle Obama has in all this. What do you think of the privileges and institutionalized setbacks MO experiences as a Black/African-American woman?
