Yep, I had a whole post written on
Aug 28, 1963, the day when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his 'I have a dream
speech'. In my post, I spoke about his goals, his legacy and those of Daniel O'
Connell and Gandhi, as well as focusing on speeches themselves: how vital for
society they used to be; and how infrequent and, unfortunately, veritably
redundant the are nowadays in our information-saturated world.
Instead writing out the whole thing again, I've taking the
erasing as a sign; a sign not to do so. You do it! Think about those hugely
influential speakers, what speeches do, and assess the need and effectiveness
that such speeches would have today.
