As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
There is something powerful about watching someone walk through an idea they once could only imagine.
As President Obama toured the exhibits with Valerie Jarrett, one thing became clear: this space was never meant to tell just one story.
The Obama Presidential Center opens June 19.
Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.

A message for America.
STOP trying to deny what made America great it makes you look small and insignificant.
America is great BECAUSE of immigrants not in-spite of them. Jesus was not a white country singer, he was a refugee. So I think that makes MAGA the Pharisees.

CONGRATULATIONS TO DONALD ON FINALLY RECEIVING AN HONOR HE'S EARNED: "THE EPSTEIN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD." A BIG BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT AT THE NATIONAL MALL. HE DID NOT GET OBAMA'S CROWDS, HE DID NOT GET OBAMA'S LOVE, HE DID NOT GET OBAMA'S HANDS. BUT HE GOT A BIGGER MONUMENT.
Bernice King: “The recent claim by President Trump that the 1964 Civil Rights Act harmed white Americans is just wrong and it’s dangerous. It re-writes history in a way that fuels fear and resentment. My father and so many leaders of the movement did not risk their lives to divide this nation. They did so because America was denying millions basic rights. The right to work, the right to vote, to live where they please, to move through society with dignity. The Civil Rights Act did not give black people special treatment. It made discrimination illegal. The same discrimination you’re trying to turn around and use.”
