Every First Lady in US history has slept in a White House built by slaves.
Michelle Obama is the only one who has ever acknowledged it.

BTW Michelle Obama's speech was magnificent. She spoke as a mother, a wife, a black woman and a citizen, and she crushed it.

I ain't thirsty for no bae cuz I already know watchu tryna say

You say that you a baller
And I see you tryna holla
But that ain't how I was brought up

I am thrilled to have heard it (and actually remember a good bit of it) in "real" time. She is truly an American treasure.
