"All Together Now" is a speech given by Barbara Jordan, an American lawyer, educator, and leader in the civil rights movement, at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. In the speech, Jordan delivers a powerful and inspiring message about the importance of unity and coming together as a nation to overcome adversity and achieve progress.
Jordan begins by recalling the difficult times in American history, including the civil rights struggles of the 1950s and 60s and the economic challenges of the 1980s. She emphasizes the importance of the American people standing together and working towards a common goal in order to overcome these challenges and create a better future.
Jordan goes on to argue that the values of democracy, equality, and justice are essential to the success of the nation, and that Americans must come together to defend these values and ensure that they are preserved for future generations. She emphasizes the importance of political participation and engagement, and encourages Americans to get involved in the political process and make their voices heard.
Throughout the speech, Jordan inspires and motivates her audience with her passion and conviction, and her words continue to resonate today. She reminds us that, despite our differences, we are all in this together, and that by coming together and working towards a common goal, we can create a brighter, more equitable future for all.
Jordan's message of unity and hope is particularly relevant today, as the United States faces a number of challenges, including political polarization, racial and social inequality, and economic struggles. It is more important than ever that we come together as a nation and work towards a better future for all. As Jordan said, "We are one nation, and we are one people, and we are all in this together."
