So proud to present the Portrait of a Nation Prize to my good friend, @Lin_Manuel. Love this guy—with his melodies, rhymes, and nonstop energy, he’s painted as honest a portrait of our country as I’ve ever seen, lifting folks up through his work onstage and off. pic.twitter.com/Xar2Y1mcFP
Parker, I'm so glad I had the chance to meet you today (and for the dance party)! Keep on dreaming big for yourself...and maybe one day I'll proudly look up at a portrait of you! pic.twitter.com/faUVTsYWun
The 1st image summarizes one of the reasons why the presidency of Barack Obama and the powerful presence of Michelle Obama matter to humanity, particularly to Black children. Never forget the 2nd image. Maybe it will heighten our understanding. pic.twitter.com/BkCEz3erlQ
I spoke to the guy who took this (instantly iconic) photo of a little girl staring at @MichelleObama's portrait: "It was so touching and uplifting for me to see this beautiful child looking at a beautiful portrait of a powerful woman." https://t.co/1PUY8Aau4Kpic.twitter.com/kVpdBQERGO
Everyone, meet 2-year-old Parker Curry. "In the world we live in today, I'm just trying to raise a little girl who has opportunities to see women who look like her doing great things," her mom Jessica told me https://t.co/0gBu6FaHFFpic.twitter.com/FSr6Y8cTXc
From HOUSE PARTY to LOSING GROUND to GANJA AND HESS to I AM SOMEBODY, this list makes me swoon. A strong starting point for anyone who wants to learn more about the black cinematic canon. Delicious work here. https://t.co/rrYK7Hs95y
The line to take a photo of Obama’s portrait stretches out of the Portrait Gallery, into a stairwell, and out into the courtyard. Insane. pic.twitter.com/9mS9rhR6Dd
