Congresswoman Barbara Lee is in a lineup of speakers that climaxes with Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte Tuesday night.
Lee is scheduled to speak around 6 p.m. Eastern time. The first lady will take the podium at 10 p.m. Music fans may want to take note that Ledisi, a former Cal student, will be singing sometime between Michelle Obama’s speech and the Jimmy Carter video.
If you have an appetite for more political oratory than the one hour the major networks have devoted to the conventions, you can here.
