Episode Details

The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago is finally open, and it’s a star-studded, historic moment — Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Bono, and Christina Aguilera are set to perform, while former presidents Bush and Clinton attend. Costing $850 million, this sprawling campus on Chicago’s South Side — where Obama began his political journey — includes a museum, library, playgrounds, and sports facilities, aiming to draw over a million visitors annually. The public’s first look is on Juneteenth, though tickets are already sold out through October. Designed to celebrate Obama’s legacy as the nation’s first Black president, the center radiates inspiration, with Valerie Jarrett calling the performances a joyful call to action — reminding us all that change starts with us.
