in French also -- (laughter)

27
00:01:00,133 --> 00:01:02,863

39

getting too close, am I?

40
00:01:23,567 --> 00:01:24,797
Say, Quan, how'd you end

The President: Equal pay day.

62
00:02:04,467 --> 00:02:07,567
And it's nice to have a day, but it's even

63

battle, and these military

lives on the battle field,

73
00:02:30,767 --> 00:02:32,567

The President: Because of
the Civil Rights Movement,

99
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,000
because of the laws
President Johnson signed

100
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,370
new doors of opportunity
and education swung open

101
00:03:58,367 --> 00:04:04,067
for everybody, not all at
once, but they swung open.

102
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,470
Now just blacks and
whites, but also women,

103
00:04:09,467 --> 00:04:13,237

and Native Americans,

104
00:04:13,233 --> 00:04:15,803

105
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,500
with a disability.

106
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:20,800
They swung open for you,
and they swung open for me

00:04:25,667 --> 00:04:28,167
