Great Speeches in History LearnOutLoud.com

Well certainly the list so far is a worthy one. However, there are a great many others from a wide selection of countries and from a wide variety of politics and history by authors famous and infamous that need to be kept in the social history loop. Speaking of Americans, one missing thus far is Martin Luther King..... I'll listen to anything he has to say.

Where is Churchill? Fighting on the beaches, and the few. Surely there is more to oratory than America and Americans, not that they don't count, but that there are plenty of other more important non-American speeches than this.

This one started out really good, regular, on time, well read and broad in it's subject material; but has since become a haphazardly updated series of orations from the American past. Some of the original speaches were great, drawing from both European and Classical history, but the American bias lately, particularly the large number of politaclly themed speeches, has lost my interest. I've given it some months to pick up it's act, but I'll be deleting this one now. Hopefully LearnOutLoud can look outside of it's currently narrow view to keep an international audience coming back for what is really a great aspiration.
