Michelle Obama says making progress on race is 'up to all of us.' - TODAYshow
"I think a lot about the younger generation growing up right now, about how they’re seeing just how fragile even the best-laid plans can be," she said."In this tumultuous period, they’ve been learning something that often took previous generations years, or decades, to understand: that life can be unfair. It can be unjust. And more than anything is always uncertain."
As a result, Obama said, we should"live by foundational truths — like honesty, compassion, decency — and if you channel your frustration into our democracy with your vote and your voice, you can find your true north even in times of crisis." She also spoke about generational differences and the responsibility of young people to better society.
"Because of all this upheaval, this generation is learning those lessons faster than folks our age did. They’re learning it together and making their voices heard," she explained."So even while there’s a lot of pain out there, and that pain is very real, that’s something that gives me hope — the hope that this generation will not only learn these lessons earlier than ours ever did, but apply them in ways that we never could.
