Speaking on stage at the stakeholders event on June 16, Michelle brings Barack to tears by wearing a custom Acne Studios skirt with a portrait of her mother, Marian Robinson.
“I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson. She made a home for Michelle and Craig here on the South Side of Chicago, not with a lot, but with a lot of love and hope and perspective and wisdom, and her husband Fraser Robinson, who got up every day and went down right next to Navy Pier, working in the water reclamation district. He showed what it means to work hard and to put family first,” Barack later wrote on Instagram.
