Barack And Michelle Obama Launch The Obama Foundation

After a little break and family time, the Obamas will be rejoining society as private citizens.

The former president and first lady are requesting the help of Americans to turn this dream into a reality. Have your voice heard via the suggestion box on Obama.org where you will be able to share ideas, inspirations and donate to the cause.

The two-minute video was released this morning shortly before Donald Trump was sworn in as the next president of the United States. The venture will help Americans across the country, more than a library or museum, even though it will be based in the heart of Chi-town.
