THE
PRESIDENT: It seems fitting on Martin Luther King Day that I come and
look at the Emancipation Proclamation in its original form. Abraham
Lincoln recognized that all men are created equal. Martin Luther King
lived on that admonition to call our country to a higher calling, and
today we celebrate the life of an American who called Americans to
account when we didn't live up to our ideals.
Allen, thanks for having me. I would strongly recommend our fellow
citizens come to this house of archives -- a house that archives a lot
of our important documents. It's really an amazing place; it's really
fascinating. I appreciate you and your staff, thanking you.
All right, thank you all. See you later today.
