This lecture is prescient given Obama's growing success in primaries. It argues that African Americans, Hispanics and Asians can and will become part of the political, social and economic mainstream, just as Italians, Jews and the Irish did.

Barron certainly is insightful as he lays out the differences betweeen the two parties. The problem is, this 65 minutue lecture was given pre-911. What is surprising however is how time has brought them both back to these same issues.
