Barack Obama's speech on race, on the 18th March 2008 in Philadelphia, was not just a campaign speech; its theme was an issue the nation cannot ignore and it is the contention of this book that the speech is in the tradition of the great American statements of equality that began with the Declaration of Independence and include Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Martin Luther King's I have a Dream speech.

Thomas Milton Kemnitz places the speech in its political and historical context, sees it as part of a new national conversation about race, analyzes the six parts of the speech, and breaks down how Obama conveys his meaning by analyzing his vocabulary, grammar, poetic devices and structure.

Obama describes the issue of anger and bitterness that has led to the present situation. He describes the common goals and aspirations of white and black communities and the path along which Americans must travel to achieve unity and a better future for all.

You can read excerpts from this book on its website: Obama on race.

This is a book of great interest to anyone serious about the issue. Read more: An Issue This Nation Cannot Ignore: Barack Obama's Speech on Race
