The Heartfelt Way Barack Obama Is Honoring His Mom In Presidential Center

Barack Obama is sharing the heartfelt way he is honoring his mom in the upcoming Obama Presidential Center. During an interview which aired on “TODAY” May 6 with Jenna Bush Hager, though originally conducted in April, the former President explained that an area of the campus will include a water terrace named in honor of his late mom, Ann Dunham. “It’s a fountain that’s designed where kids can run in and out of the fountain and play in it and splash in it. And she loved kids,” Obama told Bush Hager. Dunham passed away in 1995 at age 52, 13 years before her son was elected President in 2008. Obama additionally reflected on what his mom instilled in him. “My mom didn’t live to see me as president, but she was reflected in everything I did as president because she was a kind person, somebody who believed in doing things for other folks and not just thinking for yourself. A lot of those values of respecting people, regardless of their backgrounds, and listening to them, and learning from them. I learned from her,” he detailed. The 19-acre Obama Presidential Center, located on Chicago’s South Side, opens on Juneteenth this summer.
