Isamar Terrazas

It's an unprecedented gathering of Presidents in Austin. A civil rights summit at the L-B-J Presidential Library continues. Today the keynote speaker was President Obama. Bobcat Update's Isamar Terrazas is there and files this report.

President Obama arrived in Texas yesterday to make a stop at Fort Hood to pay tribute to the victims of the recent mass shooting at the base. He and the First Lady then traveled to Austin. Protesters greeted the presidential entourage, but at the civil rights summit they were given a warm reception. In remarks for the occasion, President Obama said progress can be slow and difficult process, but President Johnson found ways to make things happen and one of his stellar achievements was passage of the Civil Rights Act.
(Obama... your vision)
President Obama and former presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are participating in the summit. In his speech yesterday afternoon, former president Clinton said the Johnson legacy not only included Civil Rights but voting rights as well.
(Clinton..)
Former President Bush will speak tonight. The events in Austin are being held to mark the 50th anniversary of passage of the Civil Rights Act.
