Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama speaks during a town hall meeting at the Community College of Beaver County in Monaca, Pennsylvania March 17, 2008
Senator Barack Obama will deliver in about an hour a speech regarding race, his campaign and his association with his Pastor Jeremiah Wright.
Presidential candidate Barack Obama will seek to quell a controversy over inflammatory rhetoric by his former pastor in a speech on Tuesday on the issue of race.An aide to Obama, whose speech will be delivered at a historic building across from Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell at 10:15 a.m. EDT, said the speech will have a strong personal element. Obama worked late into the night on Sunday drafting it.

Stay tuned for the speech and watch the right side bar as Flap delivers commentary over Twitter.
