Barack and Michlle Obama continue to be pillars of hope and inspiration. On Tuesday, the former president and first lady crashed a town hall meeting in Chicago through Zoom to share a special message with young people in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. “Young people have a particularly important role to play — we need them at the table to truly move this country forward,” Michelle captioned the video on Instagram. “That is why I loved seeing these students from Chicago using your voice to move forward.”
Barack expressed similar sentiments, saying that now more than ever it is important for us to think about civic education. “We need young people like you to understand the power and the role they play in continuing to move this country forward, not for us, but for that,” Michelle added.
