Michelle Obama plans to dedicate an exhibit at the Obama Presidential Center Museum in Chicago to her mother, Marian Robinson. In a video statement she shared on Friday, the former first lady said the “Opening the White House” exhibit, scheduled to open in 2025, will focus on community and family while making visitors feel at home.
One of the features of the exhibit will be a scale replica of the White House’s East Room, where the Obamas once held dinners, ABC News reports. Additionally, the center will replicate the Blue Room and the South Lawn, where the family hosted garden tours and the Easter egg roll.
From an early age, my mom, Marian Robinson, taught me how to think for myself, use my own voice, and understand my own worth.
