Barack Obama Selma 50th anniversary speech
On March 7, 2015 President of the United States Barack Obama delivered a speech at Edmund Pettus Bridge to mark the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery marches on the subject of race relations within the United States. Among the estimated 40,000 present〔 were former President George W. Bush, former First Lady Laura Bush, and Amelia Boynton Robinson, John Lewis, and many other 'foot soldiers' who had taken part in the march in 1965.
== Writing the speech ==
The formal writing process for the speech began on February 25, working closely with speechwriter Cody Keenan. In preparation, Keenan had read works by Taylor Branch and had been watching speeches by Rep. John Lewis. A few days earlier, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani had made remarks about whether President Obama loved America, leading Keenan to suggest that the speech focus on patriotism. The first draft was completed on March 5, two days before the address, and Obama instructed Keenan to add references to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman.〔 The speech went through five drafts before March 7,〔 with Obama still making tweaks on the flight to Alabama.〔
