Jennifer Lopez, Michelle Obama Selfie Is All Class [View all]

Salsa trumpets filled the ballroom with rhythm as Michelle Obama embraced Jennifer Lopez before taking the mic.

J.Lo introduced the First Lady and keynote speaker at Thursday’s League of United Latin American Citizens annual convention at the Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan. Though it didn’t end there, the warmth felt on stage between the pop singer and Obama was captured in an Instagram selfie that Lopez posted on her account.

Obama addressed thousands at the luncheon and spoke about the pressing need to instill in Latino students a “hunger for education” considering their lag in college rates. The topic is not new to the First Lady who launched the Reach Higher education initiative in May to help low-income students attain college success.

“There are still too many young people in this country who aren’t getting the education they need,” Obama said during her LULAC speech, according to Fox News Latino. “Too many young people in the Latino community just aren’t fulfilling their potential.”
