Obama Presidential Center in Chicago opens

 

The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago opened yesterday after 10 years of construction and $850 million in spending and amid ongoing disputes by builders who say they haven’t been paid. Former presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton attended, along with several popular musicians. Obama used the occasion in part to praise people who resisted immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota. The center’s museum opens to the public today, “Juneteenth.”
