- Lot Description
OBAMA, Barack. Duplicated typescript of his speech entitled "A More Perfect Union," delivered at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia, March 18, 2008. [N.d.]. 10 pp., 4to. SIGNED BY OBAMA at head of the first page. (A few minor creases at edges.) Loose sheets; housed in calf folding case.
Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech was delivered by then-Senator Barack Obama on March 18, 2008 in the course of the contest for the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination before an audience at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. It was prompted by the attention paid to controversial remarks made by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor and, until shortly before the speech, a participant in his campaign. Obama framed his response in terms of the broader issue of race in the United States. The speech's title was taken from the Preamble to the United States Constitution. In it he addressed the subjects of racial tensions, white privilege, and race and inequality in the United States, discussing black "anger," white "resentment," and other issues as he sought to explain and contextualize Wright's controversial comments. His speech closed with a plea to move beyond America's "racial stalemate" and address shared social problems. It was considered by many to be 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.
