Obama Visits Arlington Cemetery

Video: Obama Marks Memorial Day at
Arlington Cemetery - The Associated Press
President Barack Obama visited Arlington Cemetery on Memorial
Day to pay tribute to fallen soldiers. There was some
controversy over black, unknown soldiers being slighted.
However, the important thing is to honor everyone, black and white. One man's
life is not worth less than another. God sees us all as equals.
The key is to break away from war, period.
President lays wreath at Tomb of Unknowns
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama avoided a racial
controversy on his first Memorial Day in office by sending
wreaths to separate memorials for Confederate soldiers and for
blacks who fought against them during the Civil War.
Last week, a group of about 60 professors petitioned the White
House, asking the first black U.S. president to break tradition
and not memorialize military members from the Confederacy, the
group of Southern states that supported slavery.
"The Arlington Confederate Monument is a denial of the wrong
committed against African-Americans by slave owners,
Confederates and neo-Confederates, through the monument's denial
of slavery as the cause of secession and its holding up of
Confederates as heroes," the petitioners said. "This implies
that the humanity of Africans and African-Americans is of no
significance."
