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..."
