Excerpts from the speech former President Obama delivered in 2015 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march will be etched into the exterior of his forthcoming state-of-the-art presidential center in Chicago.
The Obama Foundation unveiled artwork of the planned design for the outside of the center in a tweet on Sunday, the same date hundreds of people that had gathered for a voting rights march from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery were met with weapons and tear gas from state troopers 56 years ago.
