First lady Michelle Obama has rescheduled a speech to graduating high school students in Topeka, Kan., to alleviate concerns that her appearance would limit tickets to family members.
Instead, the schools will hold independent ceremonies May 17, and Obama will speak at the university a day earlier at a "Senior Recognition Day." Her remarks are timed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education that helped integrate public schools.
