How the Obama Presidential Center offers a new vision for presidential legacies

The Obama Presidential Center is now open to the public in Chicago. Former President Obama says he does not want the center to feel like a shrine or a museum, but rather a representation of an American story still being written. Ali Rogin discusses what Obama is seeking to communicate through this new institution with Yale University historian Beverly Gage.
