Michelle Obama, Jackson State University
Last month, First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a commencement address at the historically black Jackson State University that focused on race and the school's graduating class can effect change. When confronted with systemic racism, the First Lady said, "Lift up your head and do what Barack Obama has always done, as he says, 'When they go low, I go high.' That's the choice Barack and I have made. That's what's kept us sane over the years."
