VIDEO: First Lady Kicks Off Let’s Move

Yesterday was a busy day for First Lady Michelle Obama. She joined President Obama and Cabinet members as he signed a Memorandum on Childhood Obesity. The Memorandum established a task force, headed by the First Lady, to encourage children to exercise more and adopt healthier eating habits. Later she was joined by local students, cabinet members, and athletes to kick off Let’s Move, a new nationwide campaign to combat childhood obesity. To find out more about Let’s Move click here.

Thanks to an impending snow storm, a dress rehearsal became the main performance, as “In Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement”, was moved up a night early.
