The Obama Presidential Center represents a historic opportunity to build a world-class museum and public gathering space that celebrates our nation’s first African American President and First Lady, steps away from where he began his career, where she was raised, and where—together—they made their home. The Obama Presidential Center will be a world-class museum that gathers people from around the world. The campus will add to the vitality of Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side, adding new gardens, a larger playground, and scenic paths for an early morning jog or an afternoon stroll. And it will do all that while creating jobs and driving economic opportunity here in Chicago and enriching the landscape of the South Side. Learn more about the Obama Foundation here.
