MICHELLE OBAMA — A black first lady is a coup in itself but one such as Michelle Obama is divine. Education, our history preaches, is the ultimate liberator and Michelle Obama and her husband are living proof of that. A descendant of slaves, with grandparents who left the South for Chicago, Michelle, who lists both Princeton and Harvard among her alma maters, is the modern everywoman, juggling it all—-career, husband and children. Whether it’s planting a garden at the White House, inspiring young girls to dream big or befriending the Queen of England, Michelle does it with style and grace, leading by example on her own terms.
