Abstract
Barbara Jordan's keynote address to the 1976 Democratic Convention was effective with both the immediate and the general audiences. One explanation for this success was the skillful handling of three sets of dual and conflicting purposes: pleasing two unlike audiences; fulfilling the role expectations imposed on keynoters, while avoiding triteness; affirming blackness and womanliness, but avoiding the unfavorable stereotypes of each.Keywords
