First lady hosts Black History Month celebration
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE – 14 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Foot-stomping music filled the East Room of the White
House on Wednesday as first lady Michelle Obama hosted nearly 200
schoolchildren for a Black History Month celebration featuring Sweet Honey
in the Rock, an award-winning female a cappella ensemble.
Mrs. Obama seemed a bit surprised when the sixth- and seventh-graders from
three local schools said yes, they knew slaves helped build the White House,
that President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation upstairs
in a bedroom named for him, and that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and
other civil rights leaders met in the building with Presidents John F.
Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson to discuss the end of segregation.
"So you guys know your history. That's a good thing," she said. "That means
your parents and teachers are doing their jobs."
Mrs. Obama encouraged them to look beyond the names in the history books and
to "think about the extraordinary people who live in your own world," like
parents, grandparents and teachers, "all those folks who play important
roles in black history and American history every single day."
She said they will write history's next chapter and they should work hard
every day, always put their best foot forward, even when no one is looking,
and support their families at home by making their beds, putting away dishes
and cleaning their rooms.
"That's part of the preparation," said Mrs. Obama, whose daughters, Malia
and Sasha, sat in the front row with her mother, Marian Robinson.
Before Mrs. Obama spoke, the students listened as retired Rear Adm. Stephen
Rochon told his own story. In 2007, Rochon became the first black man to be
named chief usher at the White House and director of the executive
residence.
President Barack Obama and the first lady have talked about opening up the
White House and making it more accessible to the public.
Wednesday's event with Sweet Honey in the Rock, a Grammy Award-winning
ensemble, was the first with a student audience, including some whose
parents are members of the White House's professional staff. The students
attend Shaw and Stuart-Hobson middle schools, and KIPP DC: KEY Academy, a
charter school.
