Jackson describes America as a quilt; if your patch isn't big enough, you've got to pool your patches.

  • Did he really talk about gays and lesbians seeking equality in the nineteen-fucking-eighties?

    WHY WAS THIS MAN NOT PRESIDENT?!?!?!?

  • My favorite segment of this speech.

  • Amazing how one could almost juxtapose the year 2008 over the 1988 in the speech.

    He, Barbara Jordan, and Barack - they transcend their color in acutely nailing the ills of society everytime they have held a speech at a convention.

    Plus, Crystal Method's 'Keep Hope Alive' is a electronic song using Jesse's 'Keep Hope Alive' sample. Gives me chills everytime I listen to it.

  • This was an amazing speech!! I remember I would quote this patch speech 20 years ago....great stuff!!
