Later Wednesday, Obama gave a 10-minute talk by live broadcast to a joint meeting in Atlanta of four historically black Baptist denominations, where Clinton was to appear in person later. These groups produced some of the most prominent civil rights leaders, including the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.. whom Obama quoted.
"Pastors are pushing this movement forward," Obama said of his campaign, "and I need each and every one of you in this fight."
He asked the audience to imagine what it would mean for the country to see him with his hand on the Bible, taking the presidential oath of office.
"Our children will look at themselves differently and their possibilities differently. They'll look at each other differently," he said.
