Question
Identify a portion of the speech where Jordan
references a former president. How does this
reference serve to strengthen her claim?
Answer
Jordan references former President Barack Obama when she states, "As President Obama said, 'Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.'" This reference serves to strengthen her claim by providing an example of a respected leader who has previously made a similar statement.
