During Barack Obama's historic acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver last week, he missed an opportunity to acknowledge the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by failing to invoke King's name in his speech. It would seem that he left that up to the white speakers: Hilary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden.
Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Julianne Malveuax suggests that Senator Obama missed a golden opportunity to link the past with the present, but instead chose to distant himself from history by targeting white centrists.
Do you think Senator Obama's speech "appealed to the white center"? Did he fail to "connect historically" with Blacks as suggested by West and Malveuax?
Take a listen and tell me what you think.
