“Could a woman really serve as Commander-in-Chief? Well, I think
we answered that one. And could an African American really be our
President? Senator Obama has answered that one. Together Senator
Obama and I achieved milestones essential to our progress as a
nation, part of our perpetual duty to form a more perfect union.”

– Hillary Clinton in her 2008 Democratic Primary
concession speech in Washington, D.C., June 7, 2008
