The Obama Foundation(@ObamaFoundation):When @JonBatiste and @SuleikaJaouad played kazoos and read to children during the grand opening weekend of the Obama Presidential Center, they brought so much joy — and music — to this new branch of the Chicago Public Library. They reflected on this moment in America, as this nation turned 250 years old, and what the next 250 years might look like. We’re thinking of them today as Jon’s newest albums are released, adding even more richness to the soundtrack of America.
