2. Amazing speech
Its like we just keep doing the same shit over and over again. Everything she says in that speech is 100% relevant to the modern world. The democratic party still over 30 years later dont seem to understand the simple message put forth by Barbara Jordan. Watching stuff like this makes me feel proud to be a democrat but disgusted with the democratic party even more so because of their failures to live up to the precedent put forth by amazing democratic representatives and leaders of the past.
