Obama’s Speech in Selma

I was unable to find a copy of the speech that Hillary Clinton gave down the street. Clinton’s speech was more wide ranging than Obama’s, even managing to connect global warming to the civil right’s struggle.
As promised, here is an excerpt of Barack Obama’s speech in Selma, Alabama on the occasion of the anniversary of the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

I did run across a video of Rev. Joseph Lowery speaking before Obama, and it explains the crowd’s reaction when Obama used the word “crazy.” The video is not the best quality, but his words are, as always, worth hearing.
