Barack Obama speech on race and America's future

Here's a YouTube video (at 37 min, 39 sec it's a long one) of U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama speaking in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters of race and recent remarks, and the fundamental path by which Americans can work together to pursue a better future.

Like Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's speech in the Australian Parliament on 13 Feb 2008, Obama's address demonstrates that the making of political speeches of rhetorical excellence, moral vitality and enduring significance is still possible today.
