A new Michelle Obama mural shows her as an Egyptian queen.

SOUTH SHORE — A Chicago artist has finished a colorful mural of Michelle Obama that features the former first lady as an Egyptian queen, but the project is being criticized for not crediting the original artist who created the work the mural is based on.

The mural project, spearheaded by artist Chris Devins of Hyde Park, was completed Friday on the southeast corner of Chappel Avenue and 74th Street in South Shore. That's two blocks from the former first lady's childhood home at 7436 S. Euclid Ave. and across the street from Bouchet Elementary, which she attended when it was known as Bryn Mawr School.

"I wanted to present her as what I think she is, so she's clothed as an Egyptian queen. I thought that was appropriate," Devins said Friday evening.

Devins launched a GoFundMe campaign in November to create the mural on the outside of Bouchet School, but the mural was put on an apartment building instead.

Ancient, a good argument can be made for Nubian populations and rulers becoming an important part of Egypt prior to, and resulting in the 25th Dynasty.

The country of Egypt is part of the African continent but in modern cultural terms it aligns closer to Arabic southwest Asia.

Yep, the Kushites ruled Egypt for about 100 years IIRC. Now as to what the Kushites looked like..... They were probably darker skinned that the Egyptians (Hametic) of the time but they were almost certainly not the black sub-Saharan Africans some people claim them to be.

Your post had Africa (a continent) and Egypt (a country).

Nothing about Africans or Egyptians (people).

The story goes that ancient Egyptians were black. Of course, if that is true, then those ancient Egyptians who enslaved the Israelites for hundreds of years were also black. Why don't blacks owe reparations to Jews?
