Teen gets emotional meeting with Obamas at Presidential Center

Former US President Barrack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama surprised the first 100 visitors to walk through the doors of the new Obama Presidential Center, personally greeting them on Friday.

One teenager met with them and got quite emotional.

Houefa Agassounon said, "I wasn't expecting to see Obama. I was expecting like great, like you know, hospitality and everything, but I was not expecting to see Obama."

"When I walked past the screen door and everyone was clapping and when they told us not to take out our phones, I was mentally prepared and I'm like, 'Obama has to be here, he has to be here.' And then I met them, and I was literally crying. I asked for a hug and everything."

The Juneteenth opening followed a star-studded dedication ceremony where the Obamas gave rousing speeches to an audience including three former presidents, their former first ladies, and a host of politicians, A-list celebrities and others.
