“A More Perfect Union,” (Race Speech, Campaign 2008)

In 2008, amidst campaign controversy involving the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the now President Obama gave a speech on race that not only quelled the controversy, but uplifted the nation as a whole.

Excerpt:

” “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.”
