Been thinking today of Obama’s speech at the 50th anniversary of Selma, IMO the finest of his career. In direct response to an accusation from a now disbarred lawyer, who said he “didn’t really love America,” Obama laid out a vision of the America he loved. time.com/3736357/bara...
Read the Full Text of Obama's Speech in Selma
The President spoke on Saturday in Selma, Ala.
My favorite part was the trillions of dollars of wealth transfers he oversaw.
He describes a country constantly trying to rise above its original sins by a constant effort to be “more perfect,” and succeeding, step by step, even in the face of violent opposition, as at Selma. A powerful and convincing message from a Black man speaking as President at the very site.
