Michelle Obama Pays Tribute to Sesame Street

Michelle Obama has long been a dear friend to Sesame Street.  She planted a garden with Elmo, she shared breakfast with Grover, and she hung out in a grocery store with Big Bird.  And last night at Sesame Workshop’s annual gala, she was honored with the Joan Ganz Cooney Award.

But as you’ll see, Michelle Obama’s acceptance speech wasn’t about her own good deeds, but the good that Sesame Street has done in the world.  It’s a wonderful tribute, and I think you’ll enjoy it.
