Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree Jr taught both Michelle and Barack Obama over twenty years ago. He tells NBC's Maria Schiavocampo what they were like and how they've dealt with the issue of race in this campaign.

4. "Change takes time, patience and sacrifice"

Wise and VERY, very true words.

I love the fact that he gives black women the credit for Obama's eventual acceptance within the black community. As a black woman myself, I have to admit that when I first saw Obama's wife my impression of him went up about 600,000 points.

For him to marry such a brilliant, brown, and beautiful woman who is every bit as educated and accomplished as he was when so many men in power seem to only want underfed, over-cosmeticized trophy pieces, said more about him than all of his education and community work.
