This Presentation is based on Barbara Jordan's Speech.

1. ‘Democratic National Convention
Keynote Address’

2. This Presentation is based on Barbara Charline Jordan speech.

3. This great woman was born on February 21, 1936 and
died on January 17, 1996. Barbara Jordan was a lawyer,
educator, an American politician, and a leader of the
Civil Rights Movement. A Democrat, she was the first
African American elected to the Texas Senate after
Reconstruction, also she was the first Southern African-
American woman elected to the United States House of
Representatives. This woman has made a lot for America
and it’s nation.

4. Barbara’s aim was not to enumerate the problems which
existed in America, but to see what we should do know to
have a prosperous future.
Barbara said: “We believe that the people are the source
of all governmental power; that the authority of the
people is to be extended, not restricted”.
I think, that this words are very powerful. They make the
nation realize that their future is in their hands. We are
creators in this case.

5. People
Then she has added: “We believe that the government which
represents the authority of all the people, not just one
interest group, but all the people, has an obligation to
actively underscore actively seek to remove those obstacles
which would block individual achievement obstacles
emanating from race, sex, economic condition. The
government must remove them, seek to remove them.”
The power of the country are people who live in it.

6. Changes
The second thing which Barbara has admitted was:
“We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing
to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we
must”.
No development is possible without changes. In case
we are willing to change our future, we have to be
ready to face all difficulties, everything what we
didn’t accustom to.

7. Barbara Jordan’s speech is very inspiring. She
says basis which every nation has to know and
government too. There is nothing like people
and territories with government, but there is a
country which includes all this. We all are
united.
