On Wednesday night at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, former NPR host Michele Norris sat down with former first lady Michelle Obama.

Norris is no stranger to big names or tough subjects.

She won a Peabody for her work on The Race Card Project. When she started the project, Norris thought she needed to prompt people to talk about race. She was wrong. There was no shortage of people who craved a venue for those discussions.

MPR News host Angela Davis spoke with Norris about growing up in Minnesota, race and her new ventures at the Aspen Institute.
