Barbara Jordan's Keynote Address: Fulfilling Dual and Conflicting Purposes.
Thompson, Wayne N.
Central States Speech Journal, v30 n3 p272-77 Fall 1979
Analyzes the keynote address to the 1976 Democratic Convention. Attributes its success to the skillful handling of the following dual and conflicting purposes: pleasing two unlike audiences; fulfilling the role expectations imposed on keynoters while avoiding triteness; and affirming Blackness and womanliness while avoiding stereotypes.
