A number of Barack Obama’s former Harvard professors have spoken about how they remember the potential future president and his wife from their law school days.
Meeting at a rally within the university’s law school, Professors Randall Kennedy and David Wilkins among others told attendees how Michelle Obama’s characteristics then could be helping her husband’s presidential campaign now.
Professor Wilkins said that Michelle always proved herself as a team player and possessed the same “integrity and calm” as Barack did, reports the <i>Harvard Law Record</i>.
He added that when she spoke, people listened and that she always had the courage of her convictions.
Meanwhile, Professor Kennedy said he always found the potential first lady as “quiet, determined and well organized,” although he acknowledged that she has developed more poise through her campaign engagements.
A trained lawyer, Michellle has been closely involved with her husband’s presidential campaign and has participated in a number of engagements all over the U.S.
She is no stranger to politics, having participated in demonstrations advocating the hiring of professors who are members of minorities during her time at Harvard.
