Michelle Obama tells NAACP not to rest
“I know that I stand here today, and I know that my husband stands where he is today, because of this organization — and because of the struggles and the sacrifices of all those who came before us,” Obama said in a passionate speech punctuated with applause. “But I also know that their legacy isn’t an entitlement to be taken for granted. And I know it is not simply a gift to be enjoyed. Instead, it is an obligation to be fulfilled.” Her speech on Monday nearly echoed earlier sentiments expressed by NAACP Chairman Roslyn Brock on Sunday evening, who also listed the sins of inequality that still plague African-Americans. This commonality of vision from the grassroots to the White House indicates both the distance that African-Americans have come and the distance that must still be endured. |

Those who struggled and many who died in battles for freedom, justice and racial equality during the civil rights movement left a legacy that must yet be fulfilled, even in caring for the health of black children, First Lady Michelle Obama reminded thousands at the NAACP Annual Convention in Kansas City, Mo., this week.
