"A Family Tree Rooted In American Soil"
In today's Washington Post, is a short sketch of Michelle Obama's ancestors, from a plantation in South Carolina, up to Chicago, and hopefully, the White House. There is also a slide show.
Woo!
Personally? I think her family story is at least as interesting as her husband's.And both their family stories are fundamental stories of who we are, we who live in the U.S.A.
Now I must get back to writing my slavery and manifest destiny essay, chapter, or whatever it is.
Michelle is treated as an afterthought.
