Former President Barack Obama delivered remarks today at the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center, reflecting on the failures and promise of American democracy. “The Founders fell terribly short of the declaration’s promise, leaving slavery in tact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who owned property...” The center, located on Chicago’s South Side, opens to the public tomorrow on Juneteenth.
