After a long waited 5 years the construction of the Obama Presidential Center is now in the works. The Center will be placed along Lake Michigan not too far from the Obama's family home where Former President Obama first started his political career on the south side of Chicago. Obama shortly described how The South Side has shaped him as a community organizer, a father and a political leader. He believes his that the center will be his way of giving back and he's hoping it will bring back economic hope for the community and all the surrounding communities.
