This was probably one of the most eloquent and effective speakers that the DNC has ever seen. Barbara Jordan served as a U.S. Representative from the state of Texas. She has earned many awards and passed away in 1996. This clip is from the Democratic National Convention during the election of 1992.

  • She was not a senator

  • i was blessed to get to shake her hand after the first time i heard her speak. i have been a proud Texas democrat ever since. i get goosebumps everytime i hear her voice. a beautiful woman.

  • she was trully meant to president

  • When I watched this speech in 1992, I realized that the Democratic Party was not dead, and there was hope for a new beginning. This is one of the most moving speeches I have ever seen. RIP, Barbara Jordan, and have mercy upon us nit-wits you have left behind. If you can help from the other side, that wouldn't hurt, either.

  • Barbara Jordan was a U.S. representative, not a senator.
