Chris Barton tells the story of the amazing Barbara Jordan, born with a commanding voice that mesmerized the nation. She became a lawyer, and then a congresswoman, and a teacher. Many said, had Jordan not suffered ill health, that she would have risen high in the political world, maybe as a senator, or on the Supreme Court or even as vice-president. Barbara Jordan was a legend in her time who influenced many with her powerful voice and strong sense of values.
