REX, Ga. -- Police are investigating after a monument dedicated to one of first lady Michelle Obama's relatives was knocked over in suburban Atlanta.
Clayton County Commissioner Sonna Singleton tells WSB-TV ( http://bit.ly/190XEEv) that a stone monument to Michelle Obama's great-great-great-grandmother, Melvinia Shields, was pushed over and will need to be inspected for cracks.
Officials say Shields was born into slavery in the mid-1800s and later settled in Rex, Ga., - about 15 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.
