Different
Barack Obama's Presidential Center is not a library and doesn't store papers from his administration. It's different. It is a community center along with a discussion of American democracy, what is right and what needs to be addressed. It is interesting that President Trump wasn't invited to the opening ceremonies but all living former presidents were and they were there. Obama believes in an active democracy: "Do something." "Yes, we can." It is the opposite of accumulation of power that Trump represents and is a hopeful view of America. It is a needed reminder.
