Barbara Jordan continued to give this Nation a lifetime of serviceteaching young people in preparation for careers in public service. Her chairmanship of the independent U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform. which is referred to as the Jordan Commission. took on the very difficult issue of fair immigration policy. And just as young Barbara Jordan listened to the words of JFK and was "bit by the bug" of politics. so did she go on to inspire another generation of young leaders when she took the podium at the 1992 Democratic Convention. Speaking with an authority and voice that could only be Barbara Jordans. she issued a new challenge to each and every one of us to reexamine our relationships with each other and what we stand together for as a Nation.
