Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood of America and daughter of the late Texas Gov. Ann Richards, has been added to the Democratic National Convention speaker lineup for next Tuesday night in Denver.

Richards will speak on an evening when the convention theme will be “Renewing America’s Promise.” She will address women’s health care issues.

Her late mother - shown above as she delivered the keynote speech at the Democrats’ 1988 convention in Atlanta — will be honored and remembered at several convention-related events.
