In powerful remarks at the Grand Opening Celebration of the Obama Presidential Center, @MichelleObama called on Americans to see the good in our neighbors, and to recognize our shared values.
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
BREAKING: In a powerful display of solidarity, thousands of Americans are marching in Selma to protest against the Supreme Court's rulings gutting the Voting Rights Act. This is amazing.
.@KamalaHarris: “We knew it was going to happen, and this week it did.
The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act.
I wanted to share a few thoughts as we gear up for the fight ahead.”
Dear God,
Thank you for this day and for the life you’ve given me.
Guide my thoughts, my words, and my actions.
Give me strength when I feel weak,
peace when I feel anxious,
and wisdom when I face decisions.
Help me to be kind, patient, and understanding with others.
Protect my loved ones and watch over those in need.
I trust in your plan, even when I don’t understand it.
Amen.
