Publisher Description
Black and More Than Black: Toward a More Perfect Union ON MARCH 18, 2008, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, presidential candidate Barack Obama (then-Senator, D-IL) delivered a speech titled, "A More Perfect Union." It was the most persuasive piece of oratory on U.S. race relations since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech at the August 28, 1963 March on Washington. Since announcing his candidacy, Obama sought to maintain a "race-neutral" campaign.
