With the increased presence of race and religion clouding the Democratic presidential run to the White House in recent weeks, Barack Obama said he will make a "major speech" in Philadelphia today that addresses both issues directly.
During a campaign stop in Monaca, PA, the senator told reporters that he intends to discuss "the larger issue of race in this campaign" and deal with drama sparked by statements from his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright.
Obama added that he would "talk about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church for example."
He also said Wright has been unfairly misrepresented in the media based on two of his statements, regarding racism in America, that have been repeatedly televised.
"The caricature that's being painted of him is not accurate," he said.
