⁨Asking The Oppressed To Be Peaceful Is An Act Of Violence In Itself

Angela Davis exposed the violence, ripped the mask off white innocence, and reminded the world that asking the oppressed to be peaceful while they’re hunted is itself an act of violence.

This iconic interview was recorded in the spring of 1972 inside a California state prison cell, where Angela Davis was being held during her high-profile trial.

Michelle Obama's style was an expression of intention—lifting up new designers, and shopping where everyone shops. Joy. Color. Confidence. A reminder that no one gets to define beauty for you.

The elections this November are a moral moment in America.

We need a Congress that will hold Trump accountable and deliver for the American people.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

This election won’t be about left and right, it will be about right and wrong.

For 250 years Americans have stood up and spoke up against the powerful, we have to do the same this November and hold President Trump accountable.

We are only 23 days away from the Obama Presidential Center's Grand Opening Celebration, and here in Chicago, that number makes us think of only one person: Michael Jordan.

President Obama invoked Jordan's greatness often, but most notably when talking about resilience in 2009 in a national address to America's schoolchildren given at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA: "Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots. But he once said, 'I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed.'"

Jordan is part of how so many Americans define greatness. As a global icon whose athletic career, philanthropy, and business vision broke barriers around the world, Jordan's impact is honored in one of our Exhibition Galleries, Toward A More Perfect Union, located on Museum Level 2. This gallery tells the story of the early influences that shaped President and Mrs. Obama and the grassroots energy of the 2008 campaign.
