QUOTE: Howard Dean’s December 7 speech is the most important statement on race in American politics by a mainstream white politician in nearly 40 years. Nothing remotely comparable has been said by anyone who might become or who has been President of the United States since Lyndon Johnson’s June 4, 1965 affirmative action address to the graduating class at Howard University.

This is a really interesting article from a perspective many have said would not come around: support among the black community for Howard Dean. I, for one, would like to learn more about how to get the message across, and, of course, what that message should be.
