Transcript

You never know where something that starts on the south side might lead. >> Hey, Chicago, >> a campus right here on the south side where we hope to convene, support, and empower the next generation of leaders. >> The question isn't why would we be here in Chicago on the southside folk? Why not? To me, this doesn't feel so much like building something new. It feels like we're helping to reveal what has always been here. >> Yes, we can. I am asking you to believe not in my ability to bring about change but in yours. It is so good to be home. Home.

Video description

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. More than just a museum, the Center will serve as a vibrant hub for the community. It will include a new branch of the Chicago Public Library, a community garden, a basketball court, a recording studio, classrooms, and more. We want the Center to be a space where people come together and new ideas are born. And we hope that Chicagoans and people from around the world will visit and enjoy this space for years to come.
