Ten London secondary school students received a pep talk from Michelle Obama at the White House yesterday.
The teenagers from schools in Islington, north London, were invited to the White House after winning a Black History Month essay contest, in which they explored the experience of African and Caribbean migrants in Britain.
Their visit came a day after the Guardian revealed the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, had slashed funding for Black History Month from £132,000 to £10,000.
"If Boris has cut the budget, that wouldn't stop us spreading the word about black history, so we're going to keep on going," said Curtly Mejias, 18, of St Mary Magdalene Academy, shortly after reading an excerpt from an essay about his Trinidadian grandmother to Obama.
The first lady invited children from 10 different schools to the White House during her visit to Islington's Elizabeth Garrett Anderson school in April, when she was in London with her husband, Barack Obama, for the G20 meetings.
The students, aged 14 to 18, met the president's wife around a wooden table in the old family dining room of the White House. She greeted them with hugs. "I see myself in you all," she told them. "The important thing is to know that you can do anything. We're living in a wonderful time where if you work hard and you develop important supports and resources … the opportunities are endless."
She told the students they were laying a foundation for the future and demonstrating to their families, friends and communities that they were focused and hard-working.
