Jacob Philadelphia

Jacob Philadelphia was five years old when he visited the Oval Office and asked if his hair was like mine. That photo became one of our favorites – a reminder of the power of seeing yourself in your leaders.

Today, he's graduating from high school! Check out our recent reunion. pic.twitter.com/gB39hFS3Wp

Opening The White House

From an early age, my mom, Marian Robinson, taught me how to think for myself, use my own voice, and understand my own worth.

Ahead of #MothersDay, I’m proud to announce that the “Opening the White House” exhibit at the Obama Presidential Center will be named after her. 💕 pic.twitter.com/QDhSSRRet0

I couldn't be more grateful for all the love and support I’ve received from my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, especially during those years in the White House when she was right by our side. We look forward to honoring her with this exhibit. https://t.co/MrHs8xslMy

We Must Keep Going

With the King family marching today, we remember that the fight for voting rights takes perseverance. As Dr. King said, “There are no broad highways to lead us easily and inevitably to quick solutions. We must keep going.” May we honor his memory through action forged in faith. pic.twitter.com/Qn1q4EvXN5
