At the White House United State of Women summit, President Barack Obama declares his commitment to women’s rights, saying, “I may be a little grayer than I was eight years ago, but this is what a feminist looks like.” He made the statement Tuesday at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
Among the many presenters and speakers, the summit featured first lady Michelle Obama, media mogul Oprah Winfrey and 11-year-old lemonade entrepreneur Mikaila Ulmer.
His declaration was met with hostility by some conservatives.
