Why The Obamas Chose Chicago for the Presidential Center

When visitors look up at the Obama Presidential Center's Museum building, they'll see three words: "You are America." Those words come from a speech I gave in Selma on the 50th anniversary of the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. They're meant to honor the men and women who came before us, and to inspire the next generation to be messengers of hope. That hope will have a home at the Obama Presidential Center. Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th. We can't wait for you to visit. Go to Obama.org to learn more. MB01629TUJ3EETI
