Barack Obama actually said...

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was but 26 years old when he led a bus boycott in Montgomery to mobilize the movement. It's a powerful reminder of the debt that we all owe to those who marched for us and fought for us and stood up on our behalf. The sacrifices that were made for us by those we never knew are the giants whose shoulders I stand on here today.
