Obama Foundation to Host Global Summit in Chicago
Former President Barack Obama announced in a new video Wednesday that he will gather together civic leaders from around the world next month to take part in the inaugural Obama Foundation Summit.
The summit in Chicago will allow young leaders to exchange ideas and learn from one another, Obama said in a video released Wednesday.
"We want to inspire and empower people to change the world," Obama says at the end of his video message. "And we hope you'll be a part of it."
The summit will take place in the city that will host Obama's presidential library and his presidential center. Obama left office in January and since then has seen President Trump take aim at many of his policies. . . .
