Wow... she is a major pillar in American history. I wasn’t aware of her until watching the docu series “Slow Burn” with her brilliant speech about voting to impeach Nixon.
I had my differences with LBJ on the Vietnam War but I can’t deny that I felt that when it came to domestic policies he was a giant. As for Barbara Jordan it was my hope that one day I would be one of the majority that would vote for her for President. Regrettably that was not to be.
Brilliant line, may I steal it? I was telling someone today that Ms. Jordan's voice was so captivating that whenever she appeared on my television she instantly commanded 100% of my attention, and that of everyone else in my living room.
Love this. Such a powerful person. Need her and Ann Richards back to make sense of our country.

Interesting. It's always a pleasure to hear from this wonderful Texan.
If God has a voice, it is the voice of Barbara Jordan.

AMEN! That's precisely what I've said for decades!! Such a magnificent woman!
Very proud of her. So articulate. Brilliant.
Thank you so much for posting this! Your archive is filled with real gems.
A magnificent Texan who served this nation with great distinction.
Yes. She left us wanting MORE!
What an amazing speaking voice and orator, powerful speech
The contrast between the intelligent, articulate voice of Jordan and the babbled, bluster of the current president is striking.
The contrast is "HUGE" LOL !
