Try paraphrasing that paragraph (read it over several times; then cover the paragraph and write what it says in your own words), and re-post. Someone here will check it for you.
Give the citation a try, too. If none of the information in the APA link above makes sense, try this: http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2009/10/how-to-cite-a-speech-in-apa-style.html
Re-post when you're ready.
