Contradictions in Michelle Obama's Narrative of Neighborhood Migration

The hosts scrutinize Michelle Obama's account of her childhood, pointing out that her family engaged in "black flight" by leaving their original neighborhood for better schools. They argue that the migration patterns she describes are driven more by class and income than race, noting that the Obamas now live in a wealthy, predominantly white neighborhood in Washington D.C. without incident.
