In another photo, Obama, 54, is seen as a college student on the campus of Princeton University in the early 1980s.
“I know that being a first-generation college student can be scary, because it was scary for me,” she wrote in the caption. “I was black and from a working-class neighborhood in Chicago, while Princeton’s student body was generally white and well-to-do.”
A third photo shows Obama as a child with her parents, Marian and Fraser Robinson, in their apartment on the South Side of Chicago.
Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing some photos and memories from my book, BECOMING. My father, Fraser, taught me to work hard, laugh often, and keep my word. My mother, Marian, showed me how to think for myself and to use my voice. Together, in our cramped apartment on the South Side of Chicago, my family helped me see the value in our story, in my story, and in the larger story of our country.

Obama is posting photos of her life in advance of the Nov. 13, 2018, release of her memoir, “Becoming.”
“In this book, I talk about my roots and how a little girl from the South Side of Chicago found her voice and developed the strength to use it to empower others,\" Obama said in a statement when the book’s release was announced in February. \"I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be.\"
\"I can’t wait to share my story,\" she wrote.
In addition to writing her book, Obama has been busy with a separate project.
