Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today!

We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

The 1st #MemorialDay wasn’t a parade — it was an act of liberation.

In 1865, free Black people in Charleston reclaimed a mass grave, honored Union soldiers, and held a 10,000‑person #DecorationDay procession that shaped the holiday we know today.

Every girl deserves to be empowered with clear, accurate knowledge about her period, so she can manage it with confidence, stay in school, and make choices about her future without shame. Providing education, supplies, and supportive spaces removes barriers and ends stigma.

The best decision I ever made was marrying you, @MichelleObama. For 33 years, I’ve admired your strength, grace, and determination — and the fact that you look so good doing it all. Happy anniversary!

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Do y’all know two Black boys,Johnny Robinson and Virgil Ware, were murdered by a white cop and white vigilantes respectively, the same day after violent white supremacist blew up four little Black girls in the 16th St Baptist Church bombing? The killers were essentially set free.

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology.

This famous photo is one of them.

Please paste this image everywhere. Don't let them erase history.

Information at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, where George Washington kept slaves is also being removed.

Black labor has always been foundational to the USA —from the fields,to factories, from domestic work to boardrooms. Yet too often,
the contributions of Black people, especially #BlackWomen, are overlooked, underpaid, and underprotected.

Education is a human right.

Yet, young women & girls continue to face discrimination & marginalization in many countries, including unequal access to school.

See how @UN_Women works to promote inclusive education to achieve a better future for all: https://t.co/sGeLg3F6v0

Elephants are intelligent, emotional creatures that play a crucial role in their ecosystems by germinating plants and more.

Unfortunately, they are threatened by poaching and affected by habitat loss along with human-wildlife conflict.

On this #WorldElephantDay and every day, remember to protect these majestic animals.

Sunday is World Lion Day.

A century ago, there were 200,000+ lions in Africa.

Today, only about 24,000 lions remain, largely due to human activities, including habitat loss, poaching & illegal trade.
