Barack and I had a great time speaking with @chrisdocnee, @pramsey342, and @HERMusicx about We The People, our latest series from Higher Ground. We talked about the power of music in educating young people about democracy. We hope you'll check it out! pic.twitter.com/T4BM6Q1snE

I felt inspired and hopeful after speaking with students in @TheTellingRoom’s Young Writers & Leaders program. I wrote #APromisedLand in part because I hoped to reach young people like those in this group—the unique voices of a new generation, energized and unafraid to dream big. https://t.co/LP1Ri8Epva

I want to share this inspiring book about the events leading up to the 1960 election, from Dr. King's imprisonment to student activism in Atlanta to JFK's campaign. It's a story we can all learn from—a story of overlooked heroes and the power each of us has to create change. pic.twitter.com/yIaNJpRq7M
