She was only 37 years old when she made this speech. What a truly brilliant and great American Barbara Jordan was.

We need her, even today, to remind us of what being an American, looks like.

If we had as much as one Barbara Jordan per generation, the sanctity of the Republic would forever be secure.

I remember watching the impeachment hearings in 1974. Whenever Barbara Jordan took the floor you knew you were going to hear something intelligent and relevant spoken in her beautiful, precise diction. She has to have been one of the smartest and most eloquent persons ever to sit in the House of Representatives. 01/08/2015

Clinton wanted to nominate her to the Supreme Court, but she was sick with multiple sclerosis and leukemia. Unfortunate - she would've made a fantastic justice.

I agree. I'm conservative and I loved Jordan. She was brilliant. I have her speeches on my playlists just like my other heroes.

Listen to Barbara Jordan present the Case against Richard Nixon as she makes the opening speech of the Watergate Hearings in 1974. She is a great hero of mine, and would have been a terrific Supreme Court Justice had she not been taken from us so young.

A stateswoman - not a mere technician of politics. She actually carried a copy of the U.S. Consitution (with Bill of Rights) in her purse.

My Political Science professor told us to watch this speech as an example of a good loud speaking voice. Her voice is so powerful.
