Broyny Flowers, 32, traveled from Detroit to attend the convention and a standing-room-only session called "The Michelle Obama Effect." Presenters discussed the first lady's approach to marriage, parenting and even how she stocks the shelves at the White House with organic food.
"She is a representative of what virtue is," Flowers said. "She is an anchor for Barack."
At the convention bazaar, signs of the nation's first black president were everywhere. Framed magazine covers and DVDs were for sale. A white T-shirt with an image of Obama between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. sold for $10.
"The impact they are having on the world is being a happy family, an educated family — the American dream," Audrey Muhammad said.
