Maybe more digging needed on university of Chicago where Michael Obama worked
October 9, 2015. Loop Capital has pledged $1 million to launch the University of Chicago Medicine's Community Health Workers Program (CHW). Created in response to healthcare disparities present on the South Side of Chicago, CHW aims to enhance access to high-quality healthcare services within South Side communities.
Michelle Obama has resigned her leadership post at the University of Chicago Medical Center as she prepares to take on her new role at the White House as First Lady. During the presidential campaign, she had been on leave as Vice President for Community and External Affairs at the Medical Center.
No, but Bernie Sanders went to University of Chicago and got involved in
Sanders studied at Brooklyn College for a year in 1959–60[32] before transferring to the University of Chicago and graduating with a bachelor of arts degree in political science in 1964.[32] He has described himself as a mediocre college student because the classroom was "boring and irrelevant," while the community provided his most significant learning.[33]
While at the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People's Socialist League (the youth affiliate of the Socialist Party of America),[34] and was active in the Civil Rights Movement as a student organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).[25][35] Under Sanders's chairmanship, the university chapter of CORE merged with the university chapter of SNCC.[36] In January 1962, Sanders led a rally at the University of Chicago administration building to protest university president George Wells Beadle's segregated campus housing policy

Among Reynolds' early employees was Craig Robinson, a former Morgan Stanley banker and Michelle Obama's brother. In his 2010 biography, "A Game of Character: A Family Journey From Chicago's Southside to the Ivy League and Beyond," Robinson recounted how he was going through a divorce while working at Loop.
Reynolds walked into Robinson's office and gave him a $5,000 check, saying: 'This is not a loan, and don't even try to pay me back.'"
Why would Loop Capital CEO be up in the middle of the night talking to Rahm Emanual, Chicago Mayor, about kids?

From humble beginnings, financial titan never forgot his South Side roots
Early hours: While both sat on a Bloomberg TV panel hosted by Betty Liu, Mayor Rahm Emanuel talked about Reynolds' concern for poor children in the city. "I know it keeps him up at night, because he is often communicating with me in the middle of the night about that," Emanuel said. Reynolds told the Tribune that he'll text the mayor at 5 a.m. or even 4 a.m. — and "he'll text you right back."
