Former President Barack Obama officially opened his Obama Presidential Center on Thursday before a large crowd of supporters on the South Side of Chicago, where he launched his career.
Obama stood before thousands gathered in Chicago’s Jackson Park to watch onscreen and hundreds of invited guests on the campus grounds to open his namesake Obama Presidential Center.
Obama said displays in the new museum would pay homage to the many chapters of American history and showcase the work of civil rights leaders. The center opens to the public today.
