Obama, speaking at the Obama Foundation Summit at the Illinois Institute of Technology, explained that Chicago’s Jackson Park was selected for the library because it was conveniently located near the couple’s former home.
“There’s power in the selection of Jackson Park,” the former FLOTUS said. “Barack and I don’t do things incidentally. There’s a strategy.”
