Obama and Hillary in Selma


"It was an extraordinary sight: The Clintons and Mr. Obama, competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination, locking arms — with two black congressman in between them — and walking down Martin Luther King Jr. Street to commemorate the footsteps of black demonstrators who were met with violence as they tried to march to Montgomery to demand civil rights in 1965."

Both Obama and Clinton gave good speeches in their contest for the black vote. It was the best speech I've heard from Hillary. Of course, Obama's speech was spell-binding.

And where were the Republican candidates? Oh, I forgot. Commemorating the civil rights struggle is not their kind of event.
