“Ali\u2019s story has been an inspiration for President Obama, who kept this gift of red Everlast boxing gloves inscribed by Ali on display in the White House throughout his presidency,” the organization said. “They were a reminder of a quality the President admired most in Ali: \u2018his unique ability to summon extraordinary strength and courage in the face of adversity, to navigate the storm and never lose his way.\u2019”<\/p>\n

PROTESTERS RAGED, CRITICS MOCKED \u2014 NOW OBAMA SAYS HIS LIBRARY\u2019S ACTUALLY OPENING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Following Ali’s death in 2016, Obama honored him as a man who “fought for what was right” and helped shape modern America. However, Obama did not attend Ali’s funeral, due to a scheduling conflict.<\/p>\n

Obama’s Presidential Center has been the subject of controversy since its 2015 announcement. The challenges have included lawsuits over public land use, concerns regarding gentrification and community displacement on the South Side of Chicago, and recent criticism of its brutalist<\/a> architectural design and illegible text on the 225-foot museum tower.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A recent Fox News Digital investigation<\/a> found taxpayers are footing the bill for surging public infrastructure costs required to support the project \u2014 and no government agency can provide an accounting of the total public cost, despite months of queries and FOIA requests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Obama Foundation, which is funding the center\u2019s construction, defended the project in<\/a> a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“The Obama Foundation is investing $850 million in private funding to build the Obama Presidential Center and give back to the community that made the Obamas\u2019 story possible,” said Emily Bittner, a spokesperson for the foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“After decades of underinvestment on the South Side of Chicago, the OPC is catalyzing investment, from both public and private sources, to build economic opportunity for residents through jobs<\/a>, housing, and public spaces and amenities.”<\/p>\n
