The new artwork will join a long-standing mural of former president Barack Obama, which was created in 2008.

The homage to Michelle will feature some of the work she's done for young girls with the Global Girls Alliance. It's a mission to empower adolescent girls around the world through education, giving them the tools to support their families, communities, and countries.
