D. Ann Willis Richards, "1988 Democratic National Convention Keynote Address" (19 July 1988).
“

America is still the country of fair play, that we can come out of a small town or a poor neighborhood and have the same chance as anyone else... America can overcome any problem, including the dreaded disease called AIDS. We believe that America is still a country where there is more to life than just a constant struggle for money, and we believe that America must have leaders who show us that our struggles amount to something and contribute to something larger, leaders who want us to be all that we can be.
