“My mother gave me non-stop, unconditional love in so many ways. She fostered in me a deep sense of confidence in who I was and who I could be by teaching me how to think for myself, how to use my own voice, and how to understand my own worth”
Mrs. Obama said, “I simply wouldn’t be who I am today without her. And that’s why this Mother’s Day, I’m so excited to announce that we’ll be dedicating a space at the Obama Presidential Center in her honor.”

And in the years ahead, we want to welcome you to Chicago to see it as well—maybe even with your mom.
So, happy Mother’s Day everyone. And especially to you, mommy. Love you.”
Watch Michelle’s special message about her mother:
The Obama Presidential Center hopes that the hundreds of thousands of visitors expected to visit the Campus each year beginning in 2025 will be inspired by the the spaces named in honor of those “on whose shoulders we stand” and that it encourages them to make their mark in their own communities.
The Foundation welcomes the support of donors, so visitors can learn about the leaders and activists who worked to help create a perfect union and on whose shoulders the Obamas, and so many others, stand. The exhibit in honor of Marian Robinson is thanks to the generosity of Mark Gallogly and Lise Strickler.
