destinyrush: Michelle Obama delivered her 23rd and final commencement speech as FOTUS to graduates from the City College of New York in Harlem, celebrating the rich diversity of the class and the obstacles they overcame to make it there. In a powerful moment, she connected their journey with the momentousness of her family’s own American story: “It’s the story that I witness every single day when I wake up in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters - two beautiful, black young women - head off to school waving goodbye to their father, the President of the United States, the son of a man from Kenya who came here to America for the same reasons as many of you - to get an education and improve his prospects in life.” #BlackLivesMatter -- source link
