Michelle Obama applauds during the unveiling April 28 of the bust of Sojourner Truth in Emancipation Hall of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. “I hope that Sojourner Truth would be proud to see me, a descendant of slaves, serving as the first lady of the United States of America,” Obama said. “Now many young boys and girls, like my own daughters, will come to Emancipation Hall and see the face of a woman who looks like them.” – Photo: Manuel Balce Ceneta, AP
