Noting the upcoming 250th birthday of the U.S., Obama reminded a crowd of hundreds outside the newly constructed center that upon the country’s founding in 1776, “a different story took flight on this continent, a declaration that we are all created equal, endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, and that in the newly independent United States, there will be no kings or lords, no serfs or subjects, but only citizens, each of us free to pursue our own version of happiness.”

Obama emphasized that the values he outlined were not partisan, stating that “every President here today, as different as we are, has tried our best to uphold” them and adding that his Republican opponents in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, John McCain and Mitt Romney, believed in them “no less than I did.”
Obama acknowledged at another point in his speech that “it’s tempting to give in to cynicism and even despair, to stop trying,” but urged Americans to fight.
But, he added, “I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end … and I remain convinced that the overwhelming majority of Americans feel the same way.”
“You were unflappable at every turn, always focused, always calm, always looking at the long view,” she said.
“Hope is the essential spark that lights the fire of change,” she said. “But hope is a choice, whether or not we use our voices to speak up is a choice.”
The 19.3-acre campus of the Obama center is located on the South Side of Chicago, where the Obamas lived for many years, and features a museum, a community hub, a branch of the Chicago Public Library, recreation spaces, and a handful of outdoor spaces that will be open to the public throughout the year.
