This speech is not the words of a man trying to win the presidency. The message is from a man with conviction and insight and candor, who, in hoping we hear this message above petty sound-bites and racial baiting, expects more from us than any politician I have encountered in my life time. It's 37 minutes.

Make sure you get to the end. He couldn't have laid out our two choices more starkly.


(Full text of the speech is here. Teachers, assign it to your students. Regardless of the Democratic nomination, this speech was history--history which we're living now. )
