President Barack Obama spoke in Selma, Alabama on Saturday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the day civil rights protesters were brutally beaten by police officers when they tried to march in support of voting rights. Obama addressed racial progress in America, called on Congress to restore the Voting Rights Act (which protests in Selma helped pass), and articulated his vision of what America is.
