President Barack Obama - POWERFUL dedication speech at MLK Memorial~ [View all]



Mahalo Dudette @ TOD http://theobamadiary.com/2013/08/24/a-picture-truly-is-worth-a-thousand-words/

This needs some clarification.. this speech is from Oct 16, 2011 when President Obama, the First Family and Vice President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden honor the life and memory of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Blast from the past but ties in nicely with today.

And, PBO will be speaking on August 28, 2013..

"Obama to Join “Let Freedom Ring” Commemoration

"President Obama will speak at the August 28 Let Freedom Ring ceremony on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom."
