Africa Trip
(http://ga3.org/ct/wd_gp4s1xR7I/) This Friday, Senator Obama will begin his
17-day trip throughout Africa, including stops in Kenya, South Africa, Congo,
Djibouti and with refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan. The trip will
spotlight important issues facing Africa, such as the spread of AIDS, genocide
in Darfur, the prospects for parts of Africa becoming a haven for terrorists
and what role America can play in the region.

Xavier Commencement Address
Senator Obama gave the commencement address at Xavier University in New
Orleans, LA last week. It was the university's first commencement since Hurricane
Katrina and one of its largest graduating classes:
"...And as I thought about all of this, it dawned on me that when it comes
to giving advice about challenges and obstacles, it's you who could probably
teach the rest of us a thing or two about what it takes to overcome.
I could give you a lecture on courage, but some of you know what it is to
wait huddled in the dark without electricity or running water, wondering if a
helicopter or boat will come for you before the gunshots get closer or the
food runs out or the waters rise.
I could talk at length about perseverance, but this is a class that was
forced to scatter to schools across the country at the beginning of your senior
year, leaving everything you knew behind while you waited to find out if you
could ever come back.
And I could go on and on about the importance of community - about what it
means to care for each other - but this is a school where so many sacrificed
so much in order to open your doors in January; a triumph that showed the rest
of America that there are those who refuse to desert this city and its
people no matter what..."
