Naked News

Politicians give speeches to rally support from voters. Some have a gift for oratory. Many politicians do not. In the year 2008 coming, it's election campaign in America and in the speeches to us from all sides of the political spectrum. We can see excerpts from speeches of the candidates on television commercials, in debates and on the evening news.

The fact is that there are many different types of political speeches. It is the standard candidate "stump" speech, a speech used in eachEvent that a candidate visits in the context of his campaign day. It is the convention speech, when a candidate for a major policy speech at the convention will be a party. It is the first address, which is a newly elected president, will begin his term of office. There should a State of the Union, that a President gives to Congress each year. There are speeches after surprise events like 9 / 11 and Pearl Harbor. There are speeches after world and natural disasters. IndeedThere are hundreds of thousands of political speeches by numerous politicians in the last hundred years has been given in America.

The reality is that all these political speeches there are very few that we can remember. There are even fewer who made a difference and had a meaningful impact. Therefore, given our perspective of the historical background that we have a truly great political speech, a speech which was given with remarkable courage at the time, a speech by confirminghistorical significance comes delivered with passion, moral conscience, and with perfect rhythm and a speech that would represent a significant turning point in American society. The "I Have a Dream" speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is the speech which fills all these criteria and more.

Dr. Martin Luther King gave the famous speech on 28 August 1963. The speech was over two hundred thousand civil rights supporters during the March on Washington on the steps of the deliveredLincoln Memorial. It would be a crucial moment for the civil rights movement, a movement which was a U.S. American cultural revolution with ammunition argued that only by extraordinary words.

King address has been provided to support harmony among the races. They cited the Bible, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and the Declaration of Independence. It was an appeal to history, moral conscience and justice. In Dr. King's words in 1963, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up andthe true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. I have a dream that my four little children one day live in a country where they are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will they be able to sit together at a table of brotherhood. "

Later in his speechAnalogy to a "change" was perfect for our capitalist society. King said: "In a sense we have come in our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note should be entitled to the payment of which all Americans . This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit ofHappiness. It is obvious today that America is at this change in default, as far as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead gave his sacred obligation to the American Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "Insufficient funds."

In fact, his speech now seems like a long time ago, but received only less than five decades in history. The transformation of American society in such a short period of time is remarkable. The America of1963 was certainly a very different place than it is now. Racial discrimination and segregation were the norm. Voting rights for black Americans was compromised at every turn. In fact, Martin Luther King was arrested over twenty times and assaulted at least four times before 1963rd

The company would begin to change after this speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. A year later, would the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit segregation in United States schools and publicPlaces. It would prohibit discrimination in schools, hiring and housing. In 1965, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, which effectively eliminated the practice of different states disenfranchising black voters.

Dr. King was named Time Man of the Year in 1963. He would be awarded five honorary degrees. Would in 1964, at the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., the youngest man to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

There are certainly great political speeches wereAmerica in the last hundred years. Franklin Roosevelt delivered two with his first inaugural address and his Pearl Harbor address. John F. Kennedy 's inaugural address, and Ronald Reagan's Shuttle Disaster speech were a few more big speeches. I'm sure you can think of others that I did not mention may have here.

However, if the history of time and political change would follow that (Dr. Martin Luther King) "I Have a Dream" speech would be my choice forbest political speech of the last century in America. If your choice lies elsewhere, then we do not agree to agree.
