Transcript

It's easy to look around right now and feel like the challenges we face are simply too big. But hope is not about ignoring the hard stuff. It is that thing inside us that insists something better awaits if we're willing to work for it. Here on the south side of Chicago, hope is getting a permanent home. Starting on June 19th, you can visit the Obama Presidential Center, a campus with a world-class museum, a new branch of the Chicago Public Library, sweeping green spaces filled with public art, yes, a basketball court, and more. This is a place where a child from next door or across the globe can sit behind the Resolute Desk and imagine how they could help create a better world. All week long, we'll honor all the people who've been with us on this journey. From those who helped launch our campaign, served in my administrations, and helped build the center to all of you who want to turn hope into action. This is not a monument to the past. It's living destination for people who refuse to accept the status quo. If you feel that way, this is your invitation to join us.
