People always ask me where the tan suit came from. I think it’s time the truth finally came out.

Tune in to the series finale of Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness on @HBOMax.

When @vicblends pulls up to the Obama Presidential Center, you know it's going to be a real conversation!

My Brother's Keeper Alliance participant, DaMarion, sat down in the master barber's chair at Home Court for an honest conversation about mental health, resilience, and what it really looks like to push through life's toughest moments.

This is what MBK is about. Real people. Real stories. Real growth.

Still basking in the glow of Chicago’s historic @WNBA All-Star Game.

Check out the moment when President @BarackObama surprised a group of young @girlsalliance girls participating in the WNBA’s Changemaker Day—a day-long experience designed to inspire and empower participants to find their own superpower.

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

President @barackobama’s summer reading list is here 📚

This year, President Obama is inviting all of you to come read these picks at the Obama Presidential Center, and we invited a few book lovers to share their first reactions.

What are you reading first?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It’s that time of year again: here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed this summer. If you’ve read any good ones, let me know!

In June, when we debuted the first official portrait of President and Mrs. Obama at the Obama Presidential Center Museum, the world went wild for the story of how Michelle Obama had long hoped to collaborate with renowned artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby, and how deeply the experience moved Crosby.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at how this landmark piece of art was created. Now, we hope you can come see the craft, care and collaboration for yourself in the Hope and Change Lobby at the Obama Presidential Center Museum. It’s a free space, and open to the public.

A stacked Mount Rushmore (if we do say so ourselves). Thanks for joining us at the Obama Presidential Center, Coach Jackie!

You never know who you’re going to see at the Obama Presidential Center.

Got the chance to see these talented players in action today! It was great having the @WNBA at Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center for All-Star Weekend.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

There’s nothing like a choir to get you fired up! Michelle and I enjoyed this beautiful performance from the Uniting Voices Chicago during the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

[The Obama Foundation @ObamaFoundation]

A month ago, we opened the Obama Presidential Center and it’s been great seeing folks from all over Chicago and the world make this campus their own.

The arguments we’re having today aren’t new. In fact, we were having many of the same ones more than 150 years ago during Reconstruction.

I recently sat down with Malcolm Gladwell to reflect on this pivotal time in our nation’s history, and the work that remains. Check out our conversation: https://t.co/yaGFO4MxGI

Fired up! Ready to go! We're rebroadcasting our full Grand Opening Ceremony on July 4, 2026 at 12 p.m. ET/11 a.m. CT. Watch on Facebook or YouTube. Who's joining us?

America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.

When folks visit the Obama Presidential Center, my hope is that they see their stories reflected in the exhibits, and leave inspired to change their own neighborhoods.

My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.
