Our forever President Barack Obama is currently out and about promoting his highly anticipated memoir ‘A Promise Land’ where he speaks candidly about his tenure as commander and chief as well as his own life both past and present.
Within a recent press run interview with People magazine Obama revealed a tidbit of what’s going on within his family’s lives surrounding the constant fight for justice against police brutality.
Obama shared that both of his daughters Malia, 22 and Sasha, 19 were apart of the numerous Black Lives Matter demonstrations that took place over the summer across the country, reports The Grio.
They had a very clear sense of what was right and what was wrong and [of] their own agency and the power of their voice and the need to participate,” stated Obama.
”Malia and Sasha found their own ways to get involved with the demonstrations and activism that you saw with young people this summer, without any prompting from Michelle and myself, on their own initiative.”
He continues, They didn’t do it in a way where they were looking for limelight,” he added. “They were very much in organizer mode.”
