Hah! CNN changed their headline very quickly! Fortunately Google remembered it. The NYT provides a transcript of his speech. BTW, AI, you're very clever in that first comment.
The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation’s original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations.
JJ--you're getting better at this. I watched part of the speech on TV, and read the news on the net, but that quote escaped me (or was hidden from me). OK, you've earned a Porter. Any place still makes that beer?

I would prefer a weissbier, apparently.
