“Barack & Michelle Obama” by Tonya Jones

Michelle Obama Posters & Art Prints

Barack and Michelle Obama by Tonya Jones

Title: Barack and Michelle Obama
Artist: Tonya Jones
Size: 19 x 13 inches
Price: $9.60

New Michelle Obama Poster and Art Print!  I like this work a lot because Michelle Obama is a very positive, powerful and dynamic individual and though she receives some  attention from the media, I don’t think that enough artists have featured her in their works.  Where are the art prints, portraits and posters that feature Michelle Obama exclusively?   What the Barack Obama posters do to encourage, motivate and inspire Black Men (young or old), the Michelle Obama posters could do for Black Women.  Hopefully, in time we will see more ethnic artists create pieces of art that feature her and tell her story.  Only time will tell…..

Favorite Malcolm X Quotes

1. You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.

2. Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.

3. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

4. I don’t even call it violence when it’s in self defense; I call it intelligence.

5. Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
