The audacity of hope keynote addre at the 2004 democratic national convention ,july 27, 2004
on behalf of the great state of illinois, croroads of a nation, land of lincoln, let me expre my deep gratitude for the privilege of addreing this convention.tonight is a particular honor for me BECause, let’s face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely.my father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in kenya.he grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack.his father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant.but my grandfather had larger dreams for his son.through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place: america, which stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before.while studying here, my father met my mother.she was born in a town on the other side of the world, in kansas.her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the depreion.the day after pearl harbor he signed up for duty, joined patton’s army and marched acro europe.back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber aembly line.after the war, they studied on the gi bill, bought a house through fha, and moved west in search of opportunity.and they, too, had big dreams for their daughter, a common dream, born of two continents.my parents shared not only an improbable love;they shared an abiding faith in the poibilities of this nation.they would give me an african name, barack, or “bleed,” believing that in a tolerant america your name is no barrier to succe.they imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren’t rich, because in a generous america you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential.they are both paed away now.yet, i know that, on this night, they look down on me with pride.i stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents’ dreams live on in my precious daughters.i stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger american story, that i owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even poible.tonight, we gather to affirm the greatne of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy.our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago, “we hold these truths to he self-evident, that all men are created equal.that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happine.” that is the true genius of america, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles.that we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm.that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door.that we can have an idea and start our own busine without paying a bribe or hiring somebody’s son.that we can participate in the political proce without fear of retribution, and that our votes will he counteddemocrats, republicans, independentsi am my brother’s keeper, i am my sister’s keeperthere’s the united states of america.there’s not a black america and white america and latino america and asian america;there’s the united states of america.the pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into red states and blue states;red states for republicans, blue states for democrats.but i’ve got news for them, too.we worship an awesome god in the blue states, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states.we coach little league in the blue states and have gay friends in the red states.there are patriots who opposed the war in iraq and patriots who supported it.we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the united states of america.in the end, that’s what this election is about.do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope? john kerry calls on us to hope.john edwards calls on us to hope.i’m not talking about blind optimism hereif we do what we must do, then i have no doubt that all acro the country, from florida to oregon, from washington to maine, the people will rise up in november, and john kerry will be sworn in as president, and john edwards will be sworn in as vice president, and this country will reclaim its promise, and out of this long political darkne a brighter day will come.thank you and god ble you.
