About Us
WHAT WE DO
We research, collect, and exhibit the contributions of President Barack Hussein Obama to the social, cultural, economic, and political life of our nation. We use innovative and engaging means including permanent and online exhibits, educational programs, and outreach efforts to communicate the breadth of President Obama’s experiences and accomplishments to the widest possible audience. The sharing of this knowledge will illuminate and encourage the public, people of all classes, races, and cultures to move into the future with respect, equal confidence, greater insight, and opportunity.
VISION
The President Hussein Obama Education and Culture Collection’s vision is to raise awareness and honor President Obama’s diverse experiences and achievements through dynamic educational programs, scholarships, and research.
WHY FOCUS ON PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?
The Barack Hussein Obama Education and Culture Collection provides inspiration for mainstream society, perhaps filling a void between generations. The objective is to promote scholarships and expand the public’s knowledge of President Obama’s family background, education, and career.
WHEN WAS THE BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA EDUCATION AND CULTURE COLLECTION STARTED?
The President Barack Hussein Obama Education and Culture collection was started in January 2007 by Dr. Eugene Jerry.
WHY IS EDUCATION IMPORTANT?
Dr. Eugene Jerry is available for Keynote speeches, presentations, and seminars as education is a very critical part of our mission. Education is a fundamental human right and the bedrock of sustainable development. It contributes to all three dimensions of sustainable development – social, economic, and environment – and underpins governance and security of the individual. The interconnected dividends that result from investments in equitable quality education are immeasurable – generating greater economic returns and growth for individuals and societies, creating a lasting impact on public health, decent work, and gender equality, and leading to safer more resilient, and stable societies.
