“This Is How America Should Celebrate Its 250th Anniversary” 🇺🇸🎶✨ If there was ever a moment that captured the spirit, history, and unity of a nation, many are saying this was it. Music legend Stevie Wonder brought the crowd to its feet with an unforgettable finale at the Obama Presidential Center opening in Chicago, delivering powerful performances before being joined onstage by Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Common, and The Roots for a breathtaking rendition of “Higher Ground.”

On Thursday, the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago saw a gaggle of notable musicians perform at its grand opening ceremony. One of those artists was none other than the great Stevie Wonder, who ripped through passionate renditions of “All I Do” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).” The icon also invited Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, Common, and The Roots on stage for a star-studded performance of “Higher Ground.”

The soul legend had the Obama family and the crowd (including figures like Kamala Harris) up on their feet and singing along. Prior to inviting the crew of famous musicians on stage for his final song, the icon also recalled when he first met President Obama, telling the story of when he was asked to perform at an event when the latter was running for Illinois Senator in 2004.

“I want you to remember, all of you, never let fear put your dreams to sleep,” he urged the crowd during his speech.
