@wokeSTEMteacher Went to an All-Black Catholic School in Phenix City, AL run by Jamaicans, Nigerians, and Black Americans. So, for me, Kindergarten through 8th grade. My first Black Male Teacher was 5th grade and our first Black Priest was 8th grade. #MotherMaryMission
Two Black boys running a lemonade stand received an unexpected show of support after someone called 911 on them. Instead of shutting them down, Kansas City police officers and firefighters showed up to support them, helping them earn hundreds of dollars. This is what community should look like! Investing in our youth instead off discouraging their entrepreneurship. ✊🏿
As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
Spelman College just made history — the Class of 2026 has seven valedictorians.
Seven brilliant, beautiful Black women standing at the top of their class. This is what excellence looks like when Black women are given the space to shine.
Huge congratulations to these trailblazers and the entire Spelman family. Y’all did that! 👏🏽👏🏽
This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my mom, and all the lessons she taught me. I'm proud to honor her memory with the Ann Dunham Water Terrace at the Obama Presidential Center.
It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.
Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
After the “Michael” premiere, fans refused to leave the theater. They stayed, sang “Heal the World” together, and embraced in unity. ❤️
A beautiful reminder that Michael Jackson’s legacy still brings peace and love to the world.
What a powerful moment. 🕊️
What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
