Overview

Make It Plain is a collection of Jordan's finest oratory, carefully selected and put into historical context. From the eulogy at the funeral service of the Honorable Thurgood Marshall at the National Cathedral to the post-9/11 sermon at the first Congregational Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Jordan's words resound. Reflected here through a lifetime of stirring, impassioned, convincing, and direct public speaking, Jordan takes his place as one of the great speakers of his era, an inheritor of the tradition of Martin Luther King, Jr., Roy Wilkins, Whitney M. Young, Jr., Adam Clayton Powell, and the Rev. Gardner C. Taylor.
