Let library be motivation

We read in the news that the Obama presidential library is to be located "not far from the family home," which I understand is in the affluent Hyde Park neighborhood.

Instead, I request President Obama to locate his library in the poorest crime-ridden neighborhood of Southside Chicago.

This will not only revitalize the surrounding area because of greater security and investment, but also serve as an inspiration to all poor youth that "one of us could get to the highest office in the land."
