Michelle Obama’s final speech as first lady on Friday was emotional and passionate. With breaking voice and eyes filled with tears she talked to the nation’s young people, especially immigrants, Muslims and others who might feel slighted by the incoming Trump administration.
The first lady also praised the “glorious diversity” of people of all faiths, colors and creeds in America as “not a threat to who we are” but as what “makes us who we are.” The comment seemed a rebuke of President-elect Donald Trump, who criticized Mexicans, Muslims and others throughout his presidential campaign.
“Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you don’t matter,” the first lady said, “or like you don’t have a place in our American story, because you do. She said for young people.
In one of her points she invoked her father and his belief in the American Dream. “It’s the hope of folks like my dad, who got up every day to do his job at the city water plant, the hope that one day his kids would go to college and have opportunities he never dreamed of,” she said. “That’s the kind of hope that every single one of us, politicians, parents, preachers, all of us need to be providing for young people. Because that is what moves this country forward every single day, our hope for the future and the hard work that hope inspires.”
The Obama’s will be leaving the white house on 20th of January for new elected president Donald trump.
