Candid reflections from the President and First Lady
On Saturday, the First Family traveled to Selma, Alabama to mark the 50th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" march, and to honor those who fought for equal rights for all African Americans.
Before heading back to Washington, the President and First Lady sat down to talk about the importance of Selma -- and what it meant to bring their daughters with them.
"We tell them the stories," President Obama said. "They read about the history. But for them to actually be here, and to see the bridge, and to talk to these incredible heroes who helped make possible their lives -- what a treat that was."
Watch the President and First Lady reflect on their visit to Selma -- and make sure to pass this on.
P.S. -- Go "behind the lens" with Pete Souza, the Chief Official White House Photographer, to see some of the incredible photos from Selma this past weekend.
