But the more I read about Michelle Obama, the more I think she's an incredible person. People asked her if she was afraid of extremist groups who might threaten her family because of their race and involvement in politics.
She said "There are inherent risks for all people, but particularly for people of color, so, you know, I can't live my life worrying about what might go wrong. What we are going through, Barack and our family, is nothing compared to our leaders who pushed through on the civil rights movement.When I think of Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King and true fears that they had and true sacrifices that they made, I think I don't have any right to hesitate for doing something that I think is important out of fear."
Well said.
