Buffalo, NY – A local book written for soon-to-be First Lady Michelle Obama continues to draw national attention. We know them as the co-founders of the Uncrowned Queens in Buffalo. Peggy Brooks-Bertram and Barbara Seals Nevergold are with the Institute for Research and Education on Women at UB. They have just complied and edited a 265 page book containing 100 letters of support for Michelle Obama. It was published by SUNY Press.
