Braun delivered the Krieger Lecture at Brown yesterday (09/10/2003).
The Brown Daily Herald
covered the talk.
Democratic presidential hopeful Carol Moseley Braun issued a call for a spiritual and physical renewal of America Wednesday afternoon in Salomon.
The eighth speaker to take part in the Noah Krieger Memorial Lecture series, Moseley Braun spoke about the preservation of America's long−cherished values of liberty and individual freedom and outlined ways in which her presidency would reinvigorate them.
An urgency about the effects of deep reflection and wise decisions on America's future pervaded Moseley Braun's speech. She described America as being at a decisive moment in time, when the ship of state and the citizens who help row it must choose between two paths. One route leads to the end of public education, civil liberties and opportunity, the other toward the rebuilding of individual privacy, freedom and a tactful role in the international community, she said.
Moseley Braun spoke about the evolution of core American values and the present role Americans have in shaping them for future generations. "The founding fathers started a movement to liberate a country based on liberation of the human spirit," she said. "We are still engaged in a struggle to give life to the nobility of that vision."
