CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-Former first lady Michelle Obama, the nation's first Black first lady, will stop at Cleveland’s Playhouse Square on March 16, a visit that comes as part of her national book tour for her new memoir titled “Becoming,” which is already a New York Times bestseller.
Tickets go on sale next week.

Among a host of issues, Michelle Obama’s autobiography highlights her upbringing on the largely Black South Side of Chicago, her years in the White House with her husband, former president Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, politics, work, motherhood, and being the wife of a United States president.
To date Ms. Obama, a staunch Democrat like her husband Barack, has already toured 10 U.S. cities to promote the book and her tour includes at least 20 more U.S. cities.
"Being your first lady has been the greatest honor of my life," the former first lady said in her farewell speech as she and Obama prepared to leave the White House at the end of his second term. "And I hope I made you proud."
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, 54, was born Jan 17, 1964 and was raised by her blue collar parents along with her older brother, Craig Robinson, on the south side of Chicago.
She is a graduate of Princeton University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in sociology, and of Harvard Law School.
She met the former president, who is four years older, in their younger years, before he became famous, and as his boss when he was an attorney at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin.
They married in 1992 and have two daughters, Malia and Sasha, the youngest to reside in the White House since Amy Carter.
A scholar and trendsetter like her husband, Michelle Obama was an active and likable first lady whose approval ratings reveal the love and respect she has garnered from the American public since stepping into the White House with President Obama in 2009.
She stood by her husband's side, and helped him become president.
She campaigned for then U.S. senator Barack Obama, a former Illinois state senator and community organizer on Chicago's south side, throughout 2007 and 2008, delivering a keynote address at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
And she rallied for President Obama relative to his reelection bid in 2012, and spoke at the Democratic National Convention that year.
She hit the campaign trail again in 2016 relative to Hillary Clinton's failed bid for the presidency to current president Donald Trump, a Republican real estate mogul.
