Dream Will Never Die

Dream Will Never Die

Just a quick thought: It occurred to me that if Hillary Clinton had delivered word for word the same speech that Teddy Kennedy did in 1980, his famous, justly praised “The Dream Will Never Die” speech, Clinton would have been excoriated. Kennedy only mentioned Carter one time in that speech. Just sayin’.

More substantive thoughts on the speech from my colleagues here, and here.

I’m anxious to see Katha’s thoughts.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
