Obama to Appear on ABC’s Nightline

Democratic Presidential Candidate to Discuss Speech on Race in America

By Marisa Guthrie -- Broadcasting & Cable, 3/18/2008 11:29:00 AM

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will talk with ABC's Terry Moran Tuesday on Nightline (11:35 p.m.).

Barack Obama

The Democratic presidential candidate will discuss his closely watched and dissected speech on race in America, which he delivered in Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon in the wake of a growing drumbeat of criticism from media pundits and the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) questioning his association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose racial commentary from the pulpit has led some to question the purity of Obama's message of racial unity.

In his lengthy speech, Obama further distanced himself from Wright but stopped short of outright rejection, saying that he could no more disown his former pastor than his white grandmother.
