And here comes what I've heard of, the Two Americas speech.
What strikes me about both Edwards's speech and Sharpton's earlier is that both of them don't just talk about opportunity--they've lived it.
The cameras keep finding moments. One from to the side, showing him, small, with the sea of pole signs across the convention. One from his left and below, silhoutetting him with his hand raised, speaking up to the tiers of seats around him, declaiming about how America is the land of opportunity.
"Leaving people living in povery is wrong; we have a moral obligation to lft those people up." Raise the minimum wage, provide affordable healthcare, make it possible for people to have affordable healthcare.
Personal responsibility for civil rights. "Civil rights is not an African American issue or a Latino issue or an Asian issue; this is an American issue."
This is my party.
