“Former President Jimmy Carter will be an opening night speaker Monday at the Democratic National Convention in Denver along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper.
The featured speaker that night will be Michelle Obama.
Other speakers Monday include several Obama friends and family members as well as union leaders and lawmakers from Chicago and the state of Illinois.
Among them: Barack Obama’s sister Maya Soetero-Ng, Michelle Obama’s older brother Craig Robinson, Barack Obama’s mentor and longtime friend Jerry Kellman, Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., Illinois SEIU President Tom Balanoff, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulis and Chicago City Clerk Miguel del Valle.”
I noticed “Barack Obama’s mentor and longtime friend Jerry Kellman, “ will also speak at the Dem Convention. I wondered who he is.
Well, I found that he is the one who hired Obama as community organizer and he himself went to Chicago to “organize under Saul Alinsky”.
“Jerry Kellman came to Chicago, a product of the ‘60s and the anti- war movement, to learn how to organize under the legendary Saul Alinsky “
