From the Historical Time Period

I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH:
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm
Summary:
A very motivational and moving speech about African American rights. King used great techniques to grab the attention of the people. He repeated many things (such as "I have a dream") to get a point across, had passion for the subject, and prepared the speech beforehand (not just winging it). King preached about having equal rights for all and to live in a world of prosperity.

I AM PREPARED TO DIE SPEECH:

Nelson Mandela gave a three hour long speech about fighting for equality. He wants a world where all colors can be equal. He doesn't want African Americans to have more power, just to have the same opportunities as everyone else.
