libertangoYou may have heard soundbites of this today. More than usual, they don't do the topic justice.

akirlu encouraged me to hear or see all of Senator Obama's speech on race issues today. As she is so often, she was right.
Here's the official transcript from the campaign. I'm not certain how long that will stay up, because the URL looks like one that has many uses.
Before I embed the YouTube video, here's a song I've long thought would make a good "balloon song" -- that is, the song they play at the convention when they drop the balloons when the nominee makes their acceptance. It's called "Build It With Love," and it's by Londonbeat, off the soundtrack for the movie Virtuosity. Ulrika, having heard this from me many times, said that as she read the transcript, she was reminded again and again of this idea. You can see some of the lyrics on my User Info page, but please, give it a listen.
