The Obama Presidential Center, a 19.3-acre campus on Chicago's South Side in Jackson Park. Officially opened in June 2026, the community-focused facility features an eight-story museum, a Chicago Public Library branch, an athletic center called "Home Court," and expansive public parklands. 

Visitors can explore dynamic, interactive exhibitions including a full-scale replica of President Obama's Oval Office and panoramic views from the top-floor Sky Room. 

Personally, if it's employing predominantly Black people I have no complaints.

What are your thoughts?

1. Adams Calendar (75,000-300,000 years old): is an ancient, controversial stone circle and megalithic monument located in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. The site consists of a 100-foot diameter circular arrangement of dolerite monoliths. Several of these prominent central rocks stand over 2 meters tall. the stones are precisely aligned with the cardinal points of a compass and that they track the sun's seasonal shifts through precise shadow-casting, functioning as a solar calendar. 

2. Ishango and Lebombo Stick (20-25000 years and 40-43,000): Discovered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it is a fossilized baboon fibula featuring deliberately carved notches. Prime/Odd Numbers: The left and right columns include sequences of all prime or odd numbers between 9 and 21.

Lunar Calendar: Some researchers, such as Alexander Marshack, argue the notches represent a six-month lunar tracking device, or a tool for tracking the menstrual cycle.Doubling/Halving: The numbers in the middle column suggest an understanding of multiplication by two.

3. First Fishing Expedition (90,000 years) The first organized fishing expeditions in Africa date back 90,000 years ago in the Katanda region of northeastern Congo (modern-day DRC). Early humans formed advanced aquatic cultures, hunting giant fish with finely crafted, barbed bone harpoons and polished dagger-like tools. 

4. Mining Minerals out of the earth (43,000 years) Ngwenya Mine: Located in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), the Ngwenya Mine is celebrated as the world's oldest known mine. Spanning three distinct eras of excavation, its rich deposits were mined for Middle Stone Age red ochre, ancient iron smelting, and large-scale 20th-century iron ore extraction. 

5. Okre/Ochre in South Africa/Blombo’s cave (100,000 years): Blombos Cave is famous for 70,000–100,000-year-old human artifacts, including shell beads, early paint, makeup and an ancient abstract drawing.

7. Tinshemet Burial Site 100-110,000 years ago: Archaeologists believe they have found one of the oldest burial sites in the world at a cave in Tinshemet where the well-preserved remains of early humans dating back some 100,000 years were carefully arranged in pits. 

8. Pinnacle Point Seafood and tools 165,000 years ago: When the going got tough, early humans went to the beach for seafood and possibly a dose of symbolic thought, according to a new study. Researchers excavating a cave on the southern coast of South Africa discovered a bowl's worth of edible shellfish dating back to about 165,000 years ago, when Africa was colder and drier. The team found small stone blades and reddish rocks tossed in with the shells; the rocks were marked in a way that suggests they were ground into powder used to make paint, possibly to adorn the face or body to symbolize status or membership in a group.

Gesher Benot, camping site with signs of fire and fish 800,000 years: The paleolake Hula was a popular destination for early humans living in and around northern Israel 800,000 years ago during the Middle Pleistocene. Archeologists believe communities would have assembled near its shores to forge tools and butcher ancient elephants. 

11. Nabta Playa (7,000 to 11,000 years): Built around 7,000 years ago, this 12-foot stone circle consists of standing slabs that aligned with the summer solstice and helped predict annual monsoon rains for grazing. Predating Stonehedge by 2,000 years. Excavations have uncovered stone-lined chambers containing sacrificed and buried cattle, highlighting a highly developed, ritualistic spiritual belief system long before organized religion emerged in the Nile Valley 

12. Gobero burial site (9700-10,000) Kiffian people, Located in the Ténéré Desert of Niger: The Gobero burial site is the largest and oldest known Stone Age cemetery in the Sahara.

13. Tibseti, Toubou people 6,000 to 9,000 years: The "Green Sahara" & Pastoralism: During the African Humid Period (roughly 10,000 to 5,000 years ago), the Sahara was a fertile, verdant savanna with sprawling lakes. The early ancestors of the Toubou, who were primarily pastoralists and hunters, lived across these once-thriving lands.

Rock Art Evidence: The Tibesti and neighboring Ennedi regions feature over 15,000 rock paintings and engravings that date back to this era. This prehistoric art depicts herds of cattle, extinct forms of buffalo, and elephants, acting as a visual testament to the Toubou's early history and the drastically different climatic conditions of the region

14. Fezzan Rock art 12,000 years old Libya The discovery of huge petroglyphs of camels and donkeys, as well as hundreds of engraving tools, hints at complex early settlement in the region following the Ice Age.

Made 3 Dreamville Albums and a D-Day Mixtape to platform his artists and give them a chance to shine and giving them huge singles for exposure.

I've never been to Brazil. And always wanted to, largely for the weather and the rich Black culture in the country. Several Latin American countries had slavery, but Brazil is one of the only ones whose population hadn't been almost completely erased since the abolishment of slavery.

Police in Brazil have been involved in shootings and k*llings of 6000 a year mostly Black people. This isn't solving the problem, since at the end of the day is extreme poverty, created by existing in a racist system that offers little to no opportunities for Black men, and hates them with all their strength.

I'm no longer sure if I ever will visit Brazil, I know that even without the shootings it is a racist country. But what Black men are going through deserves to be recognized.

These people are up to evil every day. Not just in America.

This is both planned and systemic, and what happens when a neighbouring country isn't non Black. Haiti finds itself surrounded by enemies in nearly every direction and all they want is the country and its people to fail.

Shout out to all the creative's at Dreamville! All the amazing talent signed whether they be producers or artists. I tried to get everyone, I think I got everyone. I know Ari is now a former artist. She still touched our hearts.

Thank you for all the great music you've give us over the years, you've forever changed the music industry for the better!

Funny how time changes peoples oppinions

Shoutout to Prof BlackTruth

This is a textbook example of when we start too become too smart, or to bold they'll always try to suppress and silence our efforts. Black history is people outside our community constantly trying to chop the head off the snake and dumb us down.
