From the NYT:
Senator Barack Obama plans to deliver a major speech on race tomorrow in Philadelphia, as his campaign struggled to contain the controversy over his church’s longtime pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr.
Aides said Mr. Obama would talk about Mr. Wright, who recently retired from the United Church of Christ in Chicago, and about how race has played out in the campaign. Mr. Obama is trying not just to distance himself from the minister’s more provocative statements, but to keep his political opponents from defining him on their terms.
