Obama Presidential Center Opens in Chicago

Chicago marked Juneteenth, the end of slavery in the U.S., with the first public visits to the Obama Presidential Center. But this isn't a typical presidential library. It's a "Center," the Obamas say, built for everyday visitors, not historians. CGTN's Sean Callebs spoke with Joseph Williams, former Senior Editor at U.S. News & World Report, about the new center and its potential economic impact on Chicago. #bizshow #ObamaCenter #Chicago #BarackObama #presidentiallibrary #Juneteenth
