1
More than 40 years ago, on a late summer afternoon in 1985,
2
I arrived here in Chicago,
3
entering the city through the very spot where this center now stands.
4
I can still picture myself heading down what was then Cornell Drive
5
in a janky used car
6
that I'd bought in New York with all my worldly possessions stuffed in the trunk
7
and the back seat so I really couldn't see out of the rearview mirror and I was a safety hazard.
8
And I was 23 years old.
9
I'd just been hired by a group of churches on the
10
south side to help organize a part of the city that had been battered by steel plant closings and chronic neglect.
11
And I didn't have much organizing experience.
12
Didn't know anybody in Chicago.
13
But I had been inspired by the civil rights movement, and I knew I wanted to make a difference.
14
And although I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to do that,
15
I was possessed with this abiding faith
16
that if we could give people more of a say in the forces that govern their lives,
17
if we could bridge some of the differences that drove us apart, then we could build an America where everyone counts,
18
and everyone has a fair shot, and everyone belongs.
19
even a mixed race kid with a weird backstory and a name nobody could pronounce
20
and it was here in this city a city of broad shoulders that i found what i was looking for
21
Day by day, block by block, I got to know the people who lived here,
22
their hopes, their dreams, their tragedies and their triumphs.
23
I witnessed their resilience in the face of hardship
24
and the quiet heroism of a single mom raising her kids and sending them to college on a secretary salary.
25
Or the priest electing to stay in the city and open his doors to add rescues,
26
even as most of his flock had fled to the suburbs.
27
I learned that leadership has less to do with titles or rank or chasing attention than with helping others find their voice,
28
reaching their potential.
29
And sitting around people's kitchen tables or on their back porches,
30
spending time in church basements, in barbershops.
31
I was reminded that everyone has a story to tell if you just care to listen.
32
sacred stories full of courage and humor and grace and that each of those stories in some way connected to my own
33
in other words i found my purpose here and i fortified my faith here and i found my community here.
34
Friendships that would last a lifetime.
35
And I found a girl from the South Side who has been my greatest blessing.
36
Michelle and I, our wedding reception was over at South Shore Cultural Center.
37
You could walk from here.
38
Our daughters were born right down the street this is where
39
we bought our first home this is where our kids took their first steps
40
This is where I launched my candidacy for the Illinois State Senate over at the Ramada Inn on Lakeshore Drive,
41
serving pretzels and soda, embarking on the path that ultimately and improbably led to this day.
42
So, for me, this center could not be anyplace else.
43
It's an expression of thanks, an acknowledgment that so much of what I hold most dear,
44
I owe to the people of this city and the people of these surrounding neighborhoods.
45
And it's why we designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
46
I am too young for that.
47
Not just a place to see Michelle's dresses, although I understand that will be the top attraction.
48
we wanted it to be a vibrant living celebration of community
49
where we can learn together and share the joys of art and music and sport and play
50
because it's in those moments that we're reminded of our common humanity
51
and strengthen the bonds of trust that not only make our lives richer, but make our democracy stronger.
52
Now, we also wanted this center to be a celebration of the extraordinary public servants, many of whom are here today,
53
that made this journey possible.
54
Some of you helped get me elected.
55
Some of you I had to talk into joining my administration.
56
Some of you were seasoned veterans who helped show a rookie president the ropes.
57
But a lot of you were younger than I was when I first drove into this city.
58
We're all a bit older now.
59
Many of you have children of your own, even grandchildren.
60
But the passage of time has only deepened my admiration for your talent and your dedication and your skill.
61
It's only deepened my gratitude for how much you and your families sacrificed to make this country better.
62
So when you visit this center today or in days to come, I hope you see yourselves and your hard work reflected in every exhibit.
63
And I hope you take pride in what we accomplish together.
64
You made that happen.
65
Now, of course, we did not accomplish everything we set out to do.
66
No administration does.
67
Some of the exhibits reflect unfinished business.
68
In some cases, my own shortcomings and mistakes.
69
In some cases, because as a sign I kept on the resolute desk read, hard things are hard.
70
And that's especially true in a big,
71
raucous, diverse, argumentative democracy like the United States of America.
72
Everybody's got an opinion.
73
And that means getting stuff done involves reconciling the demands of a couple of hundred million people.
74
Democracy can be frustrating, it can be slow, it can be inefficient.
75
And yet more than anything, I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special,
76
how precious our democracy truly is, and remind us what we can achieve when we embrace our shared responsibilities as citizens.
77
And since we're a few weeks away from America's 250th birthday,
78
it is worth remembering just how radical the whole idea of self -government really was back in 1776.
79
To that point, human history was a tale of conquest and caste and rigid hierarchies.
80
A world where the strong dominated the weak, where power and wealth and status flowed through lineage,
81
and the many were ruled by the few.
82
But out of the fire and steel of a revolution, a different story took flight.
83
On this continent, a declaration that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights,
84
and that in the newly independent United States, there will be no kings or lords, no serfs or subjects, but only citizens,
85
each of us free to pursue our own version of happiness
86
and able to determine our collective fate through an elected representative government.
87
It had not been done.
88
And because it hadn't been done before, the success of this experiment was never a given.
89
In forming our union, the founders fell terribly short of the Declaration's promise,
90
leaving slavery intact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who own property.
91
but in drafting a constitution
92
and a bill of rights they did have the foresight the genius to provide us with a framework
93
that allows each generation to make our union more perfect
94
and over more than two centuries through petitions and protests marches and strikes
95
moral appeals from the pulpit and conversations at the family dinner table.
96
Men and women from all walks of life, of every color, every faith,
97
every region, took up the cause of democracy and made it their own until we,
98
the people, came to include not just some of us, but all of us.
99
And that's why the story we tell in this building begins not with Michelle's origins or my origins, but with our nation's.
100
With a founding era print of the Declaration of Independence, and a pen and ink stand used by Frederick Douglass.
101
Lincoln's Bible and a pamphlet by Ida B.
102
Wells.
103
suffragist buttons and a hard hat worn by FDR's Labor Secretary Francis Perkins.
104
And it's why the exhibits here focus not just on policies, but on the shared values that make democracy possible.
105
A belief in the intrinsic dignity and worth of all people, and that no one is above the law, or beneath its protection.
106
A belief in checks and balances in our government and an accountability
107
that comes with an independent judiciary and a robust free press.
108
A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party,
109
but to the people and our Constitution.
110
A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that in a large,
111
complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its way 100 % of the time.
112
And a belief that qualities of character,
113
honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion, a sense of duty and honor,
114
those things matter in our public dealings, just as they do in our private lives.
115
these are not these are the values and traditions I believe in
116
and they are not Republican
117
or Democratic values they are American values we can all share
118
regardless of party values every president here today as different as we are has tried our best to uphold values
119
that John McCain and Mitt Romney believed in no less than I did.
120
It is our greatest inheritance.
121
the story of America at its best
122
because it reflects a basic faith in the decency of our fellow citizens
123
and the possibility that despite all of our differences we can see each other
124
and understand one another and make common cause together
125
that's what I hope every visitor to this center takes away from their experience
126
and that's why if you come for a day
127
and you don't have time to see everything I would urge you to skip the clips of my speeches
128
you have heard them all before in favor of the stories of those ordinary citizens who helped make that change happen.
129
The cancer survivor who feared rising premiums would force her out of her home
130
and was brave enough to speak out about it.
131
She's why we pushed so hard for health care reform.
132
the small business owner trying to keep the lights on the
133
teenage girl who told me she was worried her dad might
134
lose his job in the auto crisis they're why we focus
135
so relentlessly relentlessly on pulling our economy back from the great recession the wounded warrior overcoming debilitating injuries
136
The gay Air Force majors serving her country even when forced to hide who she was.
137
They're why we worked to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
138
And care for those who've worn our country's uniform and do right by our military families.
139
It's their voices that led to our successes.
140
And while going through the exhibits, I'd also ask you to listen to the voices of people around the world who have been inspired by American ideas.
141
Yes, America has made its share of foreign policy mistakes.
142
Our actions have not always matched our rhetoric.
143
We've learned that we can't solve every conflict or stop every atrocity around the globe.
144
But at our best, the United States has been an undeniable force for good in the world.
145
And what I heard on every continent as president is that when America,
146
when American foreign policy lives up to our highest ideals,
147
When we champion human rights and democracy and the sound stewardship of our planet.
148
When we take the lead in eradicating disease and feeding the hungry and educating children.
149
When we encourage cooperation between nations.
150
Instead of trying to dominate and bully and squeeze every advantage just because we can.
151
And most of all, when we show through our example here at home
152
that even a country as big and diverse as ours can make democracy work, it turns out all nations,
153
including ours, become more prosperous and secure.
154
And the world gets a little bit brighter.
155
I recognize it's been almost a decade since I left office.
156
In that time, we have lived through more war and a terrible pandemic,
157
economic disruptions, mass protests, backlash against mass protests,
158
political conflicts that have shaken the very foundation of our democracy.
159
We've witnessed a technological revolution that promises remarkable discoveries,
160
could revolutionize medicine, but is also accelerating inequality
161
that puts all the world's information in the palm of our hands,
162
but somehow makes it harder for us to tell a truth from a lie that connects us instantly like never before
163
even as it makes us more distrustful and more withdrawn and more fearful and more isolated from each other.
164
It's a lot.
165
For millions of people in this country and around the world,
166
the future feels uncertain, the ground unstable beneath our feet.
167
And as algorithms keep feeding us a steady stream of distraction and outrage,
168
as only the loudest, most extreme voices get attention,
169
fanning our prejudices, appealing to our basest, most tribal instincts.
170
It's tempting to give in to cynicism and even despair, to stop trying.
171
We start thinking that appeals to democracy and civic participation are corny and old -fashioned and boring and naive.
172
But the very idea of working on behalf of the common good is a sucker's bet.
173
and that in order for us to win, somebody else has got to lose.
174
I get it.
175
I am not immune to anger or doubt.
176
But I do know this.
177
When we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters,
178
that citizenship matters, that our collective voices matter, that how we treat each other no longer matters,
179
then we give away our power to decide our own futures.
180
We open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless or the most fearful among us,
181
who see some groups and some people as more equal than others,
182
and see government as nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils and punish enemies
183
and keep those who are different in their place.
184
I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end.
185
I don't believe it because for us to give up, for us to give in now, after all this country's been through,
186
to cynicism and division, would be a betrayal of our founding ideas.
187
a betrayal of our faith.
188
And I remain convinced that the overwhelming majority of Americans feel the same way.
189
That as unsettled as we are, people aren't looking for perpetual anger and division.
190
They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect
191
that deep in our gut we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.
192
I believe this because I've seen it all across our country.
193
In cities that have worked together to reclaim their streets from crime, in rural communities that have rebuilt their economy,
194
in businesses that are finding new ways to make housing affordable,
195
in those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who break frigid temperatures,
196
risk their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look out for their neighbors
197
and sometimes look out for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do.
198
I've seen it.
199
And I've seen it in a new generation of leaders here and around the world.
200
Like Puniha and Addison, leaders who are determined to make our governments and our economies and our societies work for everyone.
201
Obama Foundation leaders like Hannah,
202
a Food Corps member from rural Ohio who is helping ensuring every child has access to at least one nourishing me.
203
Or George, an entrepreneur whose nonprofit helps get unused, unexpired medicine, often at no cost, to people who need it.
204
Or Zuzana, a human rights lawyer in Poland, who's won more than 30 landmark cases.
205
There are thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of these young people out there.
206
Making a difference right now.
207
And this center is devoted to lifting up their stories, giving them the tools and support they need to expand their impact.
208
For while our work is nonpartisan, we are not values neutral.
209
We have a point of view.
210
The exhibits in the center are not meant to evoke nostalgia for some gauzy bygone era.
211
Some unattainable past that we can dream about and say, oh, we miss you, Barat.
212
they're meant they're meant to remind us of who we can be to remind us of what's possible
213
so we can forge ahead clear -eyed and confident and do the work that still needs to be done
214
we can learn from the past But America's story isn't frozen in the past.
215
It has chapters yet to be written, not by one person or a few people,
216
not by Barack and Michelle or anybody with a fancy title or a high office, but by all of us.
217
You know, one of the things a lot of presidential libraries now have in common is a replica of the Oval Office.
218
And if you take a peek at the one inside this building,
219
you will see some objects that carried some special meaning for me during the time that I was in office.
220
There's a program that a friend from the South Side gave me that he had retrieved from the 1963 March on Washington.
221
He was there.
222
There's a Norman Rockwell painting of the Statue of Liberty with workers hanging on on ropes,
223
burnishing the torch that she holds aloft.
224
And on the rug, you'll read words from some of America's greatest leaders,
225
including a quote that inspired that arch that you see right there at the south end of the plaza by Martin Puryear.
226
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.
227
as a quote that was often invoked by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
228
But it originally comes from a Boston minister's sermon more than 170 years ago.
229
And at the time, the abolitionist cause seemed lost.
230
The Compromise of 1850 had made harboring fugitive slaves a crime under federal law,
231
even in those states that had abolished Slater.
232
And in a case that garnered national attention, a young fugitive in Boston had been seized and tried
233
and marched to the wharf by hundreds of armed officers where
234
he was summarily put on a ship bound for the south where he would remain in shackles and chains.
235
It was a moment of profound uncertainty and despair.
236
A moment the minister called darker than any New England had witnessed.
237
We do not see, Reverend Theodore Parker observed, that justice is always done on earth.
238
Many a knave is rich,
239
sleek, and honored, while the just man is poor, hated, and in torment.
240
I do not pretend, the preacher said, to understand the moral universe.
241
The ark is a long one.
242
My eye reaches but little ways.
243
I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight.
244
I can divine it by conscience.
245
But from what I see, I am sure it bends towards justice.
246
The good reverend was under no illusions about the perils and obstacles facing the abolitionist cause.
247
His words offered no easy answers, no comforting assurances that he or his congregation would live to see the progress they so desperately saw.
248
Rather, his was a declaration of faith, a defiant call, not to abandon hope or give way to fear,
249
but to stay true to our better selves and true to one another, and to keep fighting to fulfill the promise of this nation,
250
even in the face of cruelty and bitter disappointment, even in the face of impossible odds.
251
It is that spirit that we open this center today.
252
The same spirit that so many of you showed all those years ago.
253
The same spirit that inspired generations of Americans to meet the challenges of their time.
254
the same spirit that is alive and well here on the south side of chicago
255
same spirit that will see america and the world through its present trance
256
there is a new generation out there ready to write the
257
next chapter of our story we intend to help them do it
258
and we ask that you join us thank you god bless you God bless the United States of America.

- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: fugitive /ˈfjuːd͡ʒɪtɪv/, reverend /ˈɹɛvɹənd/, bend /bɛnd/, bind /ˈbaɪ̯nd/, surround /səˈɹaʊnd/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: abolitionist /ˌæ.bəˈlɪʃ.n̩.ɪst/, abandon /əˈbæn.dən/, attraction /əˈtɹækʃn̩/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie exhibit, declaration, cynicism.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
