When Michelle Met the Queen
Description
When Michelle Met the Queen is a charming story of how Michelle Obama's and Queen Elizabeth II's families linked with one another across time. After the first Queen Elizabeth of England's death, Britain became involved in the slave trade from Africa to the colonies. First Lady Michelle Obama's great, great grandfather was a slave, and it was after many years of struggle and hardship that her family finally saw blacks gain freedom in the U.S.
Shelley and Pauline believe it is the responsibility of whites to expose the injustices perpetrated against people of color over the centuries, and to stand up for the resulting injustice and inequity we see today. They know you will want copies of this interesting and timely story.
