President Barack Obama raced his historic rise to power to the vigor and valor of black civil rights leaders on Thursday, telling the NAACP that the sacrifice of others “began the journey that has led me here.” The nation’s first black president bluntly warned, though, that racial barriers persist.
“Make no mistake: The pain of discrimination is still felt in America,” the president said in honoring the organization’s 100th convention.
