- Description:
- President Barack Obama speaks about his jobs plan and the economy at Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School in Columbus, Ohio. Obama praises the school and says that there are many schools in the U.S. which could benefit from the type of renovation the bill outlines and that many construction workers would be put back to work if the bill passes. He urges Americans to tell their members of Congress to pass his "American jobs plan", saying that "the time for gridlock and games is over and the time for action is now." Obama declares that the bill, if passed, will create jobs for returning veterans, provide tax cuts for working people, and stimulate the economy. The crowd chants "pass this bill" at several intervals.

- Description:
- Dr. David Hamilton Golland, professor of history at Governors State University in Illinois, delivers a talk entitled, "Building affirmative action from the ground up : the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the construction industry." Golland discusses segregation and conflict, protests against segregation in the building trade unions, and how some employers and their unions adapted to integration while others resisted. He explains the small inroads made by African-Americans prior to passage of the Civil Rights Act and how the Act made integrated unions possible. Gollard describes the creation of the Cleveland Plan and the Philadelphia Plan, and Federal officials actively fighting affirmative action plans. Gollard answers questions from the audience. Golland is introduced by MSU Professor John P. Beck.
