Barack Obama: “I'm as determined as I ever was, and I believe as deeply as I ever have, about the core decency of the American people…”

In forming our union, the founders fell terribly short of the Declaration's promise, leaving slavery intact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who owned property.

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
