WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are naming a space in their Obama Presidential Center for Hadiya Pendleton, the murdered South Side teen caught in gang gunfire in a park near their Kenwood home just days after she visited Washington to celebrate Obama’s second inauguration.
In a video released by the Obama Foundation on Friday, the day before the ninth anniversary of Pendleton’s death, the Obamas’ said the teen’s name will be on the “winter garden” space in the forum — one of the buildings on the campus under construction in Jackson Park.
