President Obama ties speech to economy

President Obama spoke from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial Wednesday during the 50th anniversary ceremonies for the March on Washington.
Speaking from the same spot that Dr. Martin Luther King Junior stood while delivering his historic "I Have a Dream" speech, President Obama recalled the thousands of men and women of all ages, black and white alike, who came from across the country to demonstrate their desire for fairness and equality.
On August 28, 1963, Americans
"Because they marched," President Obama said, "America became more free and more fair, not just for African-Americans but for women and Latinos, Asians and Native Americans, for Catholics, Jews and Muslims, for gays, for Americans with disabilities."
Many of these individuals had attended segregated schools, lived in towns in which they could not vote, or had seen friends and family beaten and abused, President Obama said.
President Obama said the measure of progress since the original March on Washington depended on "whether this country would admit all people who were willing to work hard, regardless of race, into the ranks of a middle-class life."
seeking jobs and justice gathered at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for a political assembly called the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Because the economy has changed since 1963, this progress hasn't been and won't be easy, President Obama said.
"The twin forces of technology and global competition have subtracted those jobs that once provided a foothold into the middle class, and reduced the bargaining power of American workers," President Obama said.

Former President Bill Clinton also spoke at the event, and said Americans no longer face inequality and abuse for their political beliefs anymore.

"We've got a lot of work to do, but none of us should be any ways tired," King said. "You see, no one ever told any of us that our roads would be easy, but I know our
God, our God, our God did not bring any of us this far to leave us President Obama said there is still progress to be made.
"We might not face the same dangers as 1963," President Obama said, "but the fierce urgency of now remains. We may never duplicate the swelling crowds and dazzling processions of that day so long ago, no one can match King's brilliance, but the same flames that lit the heart of all who are willing to take a first step for justice. I know that flame remains."
