Group of women being taught to weld at Chicago Women in Trades, which Obamas visited

WGN - Chicago, IL, U.S. - Group of women being taught to weld at Chicago Women in Trades, which Obamas visited. After five years of legal battles, gentrification concerns and a federal review, Barack and Michelle Obama dug shovels into the ground Tuesday during a celebratory groundbreaking on their legacy project in a lakefront Chicago Park. Construction on the Obama Presidential Center along Lake Michigan, near the Obama family home and where the former president started his political career on Chicago’s South Side, officially began last month. Some neighborhood activists said that they were already seeing rising housing prices and would keep pushing for more protections in surrounding areas. On Tuesday, September 28, 2021.
