Is the person who asked some time ago about orators whose persuasiveness
changed things in the world here? You had many suggestions from many people.
I'm wondering whose speeches you used and how you did on the project.
In googling to find such speeches, I came across Wilber Wilberforce, whose
speech for the abolition of slavery in the House of Commons in England is a
classic, but unfortunately it didn't have any effect. I mention this now
because we just watched a DVD of the 2007 movie title Amazing Grace, which is
about him and his fight for the end of slavery in the British Empire, and also
about the hymn Amazing Grace. It originally had a different name and was
written by the captain of a slave ship whose life changed after he almost
drowned and who was haunted by the horrors of the slave ship e captained.
