La grande marche de Washington aura cinquante ans: que dira Obama?

C'est le 28 août prochain qu'on commémorera le cinquantième anniversaire de la " March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom". Une fois de plus il sera intéressant d'écouter le premier Président noir de l'histoire s'exprimer devant ses concitoyens...

 Voici ce qu'il pourrait souligner selon le Washington post:

 "When he speaks later this month on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Obama will be at the confluence of efforts to reduce racial and economic divisions.%% As the president addresses a crowd from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, current and former advisers say, he will want to impress upon listeners how progress toward racial equality will require progress toward economic equality.

Obama, who keeps a framed program from the “March on Washington” in the Oval Office, has said he has often reminded people that the march was as much about what he called economic justice as a demonstration for civil rights.¸

 “He wants to create opportunity and to make sure the level playing field is ready for everybody,” said Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s senior advisers and close friends. “If you look at poverty or unemployment, they disproportionately affect people of color. People who don’t have health insurance are disproportionately of color. There is inevitably an overlap in addressing racial equality at the same time you’re trying to create economic empowerment.”
