“For Black Americans, I think the call to action is clear,” U.S. Rep. Gabe Amo (D-R.I.), a former Obama White House official, told theGrio.

Ten years in the making, the center cements the legacy of America’s first Black president, Barack Obama, whose historic 2008 campaign brought together a multi-racial, multi-cultural, and multi-generational coalition that believed in Obama’s message and vision of hope and togetherness.
