Michelle Obama made a special appearance at the American Portrait Gala to celebrate close friend, Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The former First Lady attended the annual gala Sunday night held at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., to present the actor and Broadway composer with the museum’s Portrait of a Nation Prize.
“I first met Lin more than a decade ago when he came to the White House to perform the opening number of what he described as a ‘concept album,’” she said on stage. “And let me tell you, I became one of Lin’s biggest fans. I was fan-girling for Lin for years. I think I saw the production three times, maybe more, but I’m not here tonight just because of Lin’s achievements on stage or in film. I’m here because Lin believes that it’s his duty to lift up those around him, especially our young people.”
