Mrs. Obama's special Mother’s Day message honoring Marian Robinson

This Mother’s Day holiday, Mrs. Obama announced that the “Opening the White House” exhibit at the Obama Presidential Center Museum will be named in honor of her mother, Marian Robinson. The permanent exhibit will showcase miniature models of spaces at the White House such as the East Room, the State Dining Room, and the South Lawn. Visitors to the space will also learn about the many talented artists, musicians, athletes, and performers who visited the White House during the Obamas’ time in office.
“My mother gave me non-stop, unconditional love in so many ways. She fostered in me a deep sense of confidence in who I was and who I could be by teaching me how to think for myself, how to use my own voice, and how to understand my own worth,” said Mrs. Obama, “I simply wouldn’t be who I am today without her. And that’s why this Mother’s Day, I’m so excited to announce that we’ll be dedicating a space at the Obama Presidential Center in her honor.”
