`'Michelle OBama's Views On BLACK Community SHAPED By Princeton,' New Book Says
Michelle Obama may be the pride of the South Side, but her undergraduate years at Princeton also helped shape her worldview.
A new biography, Michelle (Simon & Schuster), by Washington Post
reporter Liza Mundy, delves into Obama's years at the elite university,
in particular Obama's senior thesis, "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the
Black Community.''
"The question of what upper-income blacks owe to the less fortunate was a major preoccupation," Mundy writes.
Michelle Obama grew up here as the daughter of a city worker who
provided a modest middle-class lifestyle for Michelle, his wife and
son. Neither of her parents had a college degree, and Obama grew up
speaking, as she put it, "two languages.'' In order not to alienate
some of her childhood friends, she said she had to be "smart without
acting smart.''
