Further to below, the best image from the Obama speech was one of Martin Luther King’s:
It is a direct reference to one of King’s most riveting lines, spoken in Montgomery, Alabama after the long and dangerous march from Selma in March, 1965. King said he knew people were asking how long it would take to achieve justice. “How long?” he asked, over and over, making listeners desperate for an answer — and then he supplied the answer.
“How long? Not long. Because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
And then, apparently, King went on to use several variations on the ‘arc’ line in different quotes.
