Dear friend, Today is a historic day. 56 years ago, marchers armed only with their courage crossed a bridge in Selma, Alabama, determined to fight for a more just future. When President Obama honored those marchers on that same bridge 50 years later, he delivered a speech that not only captured his idea of what America should be, but one that called on each generation to take up the baton and build on the legacies of those who came before.  I’m thrilled to share that a portion of that meaningful speech will appear on the exterior of the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. Watch the video to see the words that were selected. This selection also speaks to one of the themes of the Obama Presidential Center Museum: the power of words. Visitors will learn more about the movements that inspired President Obama to come to the South Side, see how that history shaped the Obama presidency, and be asked to reflect on how their own story fits into the ongoing work of creating a better future for all. I hope you’ll take a moment to watch this special reveal. When you visit the Center and look up and see these powerful words, we hope you’ll feel inspired to continue the work that so many before us undertook to make our world a better place. Thank you,  —Louise Dr. Louise Bernard Director, Obama Presidential Center Museum    Donate to bring the Obama Presidential Center to life. DONATE
