Speechifying on a whole new level
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
You know how on days of historic significance, newscasters will play parts of famous speeches? We’ve all heard at least part of MLKs “I Have to Dream”, and many of us have heard snippets of JFK as well. He could speak at some 200 words per minute, I think I read. Anyway, this site is an index to many, many famous speeches. American Rhetoric gives access to over 5,000 text, audio and video speeches, including sermons and lectures, as well as court proceedings and interviews. And you can hear them when you want to hear them!
