The audacity of hope

Keynote

Address

at

the

XX

Democratic

National

Convention

July 27, XX

On

behalf

of

the

great

state

of

Illinois,

crossroads

of

a

nation,

land

of

Lincoln,

let

me

express

my

deep

gratitude

for

the

privilege

of

addressing

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 Depression. The day after

Pearl

Harbor

he

signed

up

for

duty,

joined

Patton's

army

and marched across Europe. Back home, my grandmother

raised

their

baby

and

went

to

work

on

a

bomber

assembly

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

possibilities

of

this

nation.

They

would give me an African name, Barack, or

believing that in a tolerant America your name is no

barrier to success. 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 passed 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

possible.

Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness 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,

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 happiness.

That is the true genius of America, a faith in the

simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small
