White House planners not have mistakenly attributed a quotation Thurs Martin Luther King in the new Oval Office carpet vain the original author was in fact-a now-forgotten 19th century activist.
Though President Barack Obama why I have no doubt admire the record of Theodore Parker, a Boston Preacher and campaigner against Slavery, his aides included the quote in the carpet Thurs honor Dr. King.
Among a series of quotes woven into the edge of the new beige carpet are the words: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but their Bends it toward justice."
Dr. King often Used in the phrase at his campaigns for black rights, wakes paved the way for the current White House occupant, Thu emerge as the first black leader of America.
However, Dr King never claimed they had come up with it as at his own.
Mr. Parker also Life Style first Used the phrase "government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people" 13 years before President Abraham Lincoln, Another great inspiration for Mr. Obama, Used Virtually Identical language in the Gettysburg address. It too is woven into the rug.
