Former first lady Michelle Obama said Friday her upcoming memoir “Becoming” is a “re-humanization effort” that she hopes will give voice to people who feel voiceless.

Obama made the remarks as she helped kick off the American Library Association’s annual conference in New Orleans. Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden moderated the conversation before an estimated crowd of 8,000 inside the city’s convention center.

Obama shared snippets from the book, including the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive and her time at the White House.

"a 're-humanization' effort"

Word salad. Turns out when you strip words of all conventional meaning and string them together like beads on a string you get meaningless twaddle. Such is the result of the leftist attack on culture. They have reduced themselves to gibberish.

Michael should just go back to being a regular guy and leave the rest of us alone.
The PEOPLE have had enough of his BS.

I really can’t believe that anyone in Marketing said, “Re-humanization? Good term. Good term. Yeah, we’ll go with that. It works.”

Re-humaniing? Doesn’t that mean that you have to be human first?

Moochelle, Moocnelle, bless youre little heart, did you share why you were squeezed out of the Illinois bar like the stinking, rotten, festering contents of a malignant pustule after only four years of practice and you, an AA grad of Princeton and Harvard Law?
