"From Motown records that I've brought to the South District to" Running the World "songs that have nurtured me over the past decade, music has always helped tell my story Obama said, referring to the Chicago neighborhood where she grew up.
Obama is currently on tour to promote his "Becoming" dissertation, which has been published in the United States and in 28 languages around the world.
