Marian Robinson, mama fostei prime doamne a SUA Michelle Obama, care a oferit sprijin şi stabilitate, în special în timpul celor opt ani de preşedinţie a lui Barack Obama, a murit vineri la 86 de ani, au anunţat familiile Obama şi Robinson, relatează Reuters.

Numită afectuos "prima bunică", Marian Robinson a jucat un rol esenţial în îngrijirea nepoatelor sale, Malia şi Sasha Obama, în primii lor ani la Casa Albă.

"După ce am bătut-o la cap, ea a fost de acord să se mute la Casa Albă cu Michelle şi Barack. Aveam nevoie de ea. Fetele aveau nevoie de ea. Şi a ajuns să fie sprijinul nostru prin toate", se arată în declaraţia familiei, adăugând că ea a murit "în pace" vineri.

Născută în 1937 în zona South Side a oraşului Chicago, Marian Robinson a fost unul dintre cei şapte copii ai familiei. Părinţii ei s-au separat când era adolescentă, şi ea a fost martoră la suişurile şi coborâşurile extreme ale relaţiilor rasiale din Statele Unite. Tatălui ei nu i s-a permis să se alăture unui sindicat sau să lucreze pentru firme de construcţii mai mari din cauza culorii pielii sale şi, prin urmare, "a devenit neîncrezător într-o lume care părea să aibă puţin loc pentru el", a spus familia. Cu toate acestea, fiica şi ginerele ei au ajuns la Casa Albă, Barack Obama devenind primul preşedinte american de culoare.

Strălucirea Casei Albe nu a fost niciodată potrivită pentru Marian Robinson, potrivit familiei. "În loc să stea cu câştigători de Oscar sau laureaţi Nobel, ea prefera să-şi petreacă timpul la etaj (...), în camera de lângă dormitorul ei, cu ferestre mari care dădeau spre Monumentul Washington", se mai scrie în declaraţia familiei. Ea s-a împrietenit foarte tare "cu uşierii şi majordomii, oamenii care fac din Casa Albă o casă", adaugă comunicatul.

Marian Robinson s-a căsătorit în 1960 şi a avut doi copii, unul fiind fosta primă doamnă. Ea a lucrat, de asemenea, ca profesoară şi secretară, a mai spus familia. În timpul celor opt ani petrecuţi la Casa Albă, ea se strecura adesea afară, potrivit familiei, pentru a cumpăra felicitări de la magazinele din apropiere, iar uneori alţi clienţi îi spuneau că seamănă cu mama primei doamne. "Oh, mi se pune asta des", zâmbea şi răspundea.
