What is the central theme of Barbara Jordan's speech as presented in the video?

The need for national unity and a shared sense of destiny to solve present problems and fulfill America's promise.

What 'quandary' does Jordan identify that the American people are facing?

Uncertainty about the present and the search for a national community and future.

Creating and sustaining a society where all people are equal.

Each person must remember that they share a common destiny.

She references 'As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master' and relates it to the concept of a national community.
