President Obama spoke at Hyde Park Academy, near his family home on the south side of Chicago, and shared stories about his family. He spoke about his proposals to help the middle class, education reform, the economy, and his proposal to raise the minimum wage. He renewed his call for Congress to vote on his various gun measures, and pointed to recent incidences of violence, including the murder of Hadiya Pendleton, the Chicago teenager who was killed nearby shortly after performing in President Obama’s second inaugural parade.
