The south side is special to Michelle because that is the location where she shared a first date with Barack. It is also the area where her daughters were born. In her post she says
“From the very beginning, “ @BarackObama and I knew the Obama Presidential Center had to be on the South Side. It’s where we met and where our girls were born. Its home. We've been designing the Center as a place that inspires young people and gives them the tools they need to find their voices, then go out and change the world.”
