that is a "the washington general -- "the watts engined examiner." here is a little bit more from president obama's speech. >> there is a reason the story of the civil-rights movement was written in our schools. there is a reason thurgood marshall took up the cause of linda brown. there is a reason why the little rock nine defied a governor and a mob. it is because there is no stronger weapon against an equality and no better path to opportunity than an education that can on locked a child's god-given potential.
