St. Louis, MO – The leading Democratic presidential contenders spoke at the National Urban League Conference in St. Louis earlier today (Friday, July 27).

The candidates addressed a variety of topics including mandatory early childhood education, raising the minimum wage, and the Iraq war.

KWMU in St. Louis assembled this audio montage beginning with Senator Barack Obama followed by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Senator Hillary Clinton and ending with former Senator John Edwards.
