In his speech in Selma, President Obama defined the issue.  Basically it's a question of whether or not America will come true.  With the exception of his omission of the extermination of the Native Nations, he drew a rather accurate picture of who we are called to be as a people.  Some commentators said there were no policy implications which just is not true.  Clearly there is the issue of voting rights.

Just as well, and the President touched on it but did not lift it up sufficiently, America cannot come true when its democracy is on the ropes because of the concentration of wealth in very few pockets.

The twin fault lines of race and class require of us a movement that speaks to unfinished business in regard to both.  What is needed is a galvanizing issue that speaks to both.
