Michelle Obama Gave a Surprise Visit to Students at Spelman College
While Michelle Obama was in Atlanta for her Becoming: Michelle Obama
book tour event, she found time within her hectic schedule to surprise a group of elated students at Spelman College on Saturday.Outstream Video
The lucky group also included students from neighboring all-male Morehouse College, and according to Fox5 students from both Historically Black Colleges greeted her with smiles, tears and excitement. Sounds about right; we’d probably greet her the same way.
The small circle of students chosen for the visit spent the last semester studying Mrs. Obama’s book. Becoming: Michelle Obama was used as the core text for a political science class called “Black Women: Developing Public Leadership Skills.”
Among other topics, Mrs. Obama discussed the struggles she faced while studying at Princeton.
Brief clips from the visit were posted to Twitter by Marissa Mitchell of Fox5 who was on assignment covering Mrs. Obama’s visit to Atlanta.
