In 1988 Gov. Ann Richards delivered what has become known as a landmark speech that (in spite of the set design and more particular references to the Bush administration) could almost be taken for a 2012 DNC key-note. As it turns out the 2012 DNC did have her daughter, Cecile Richards, speak. She delivers a shorter message but in a similar style and with a nod to her mother.
I found these women interesting to listen to, and how poignant the similarity of hot button topics of yesteryear to those of today!
