Excerpts from the speech former President Obama delivered in 2015 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march will be etched into the exterior of his forthcoming state-of-the-art presidential center in Chicago.
The Obama Foundation unveiled artwork of the planned design for the outside of the center in a tweet on Sunday, the same date hundreds of people that had gathered for a voting rights march from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery were met with weapons and tear gas from state troopers 56 years ago.
The text on the outside of the center will read as follows: “You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person.”
