Question: Your Top 20 Speeches of All Time?

April 13, 2009    |    Nancy Duarte

As we research for the next book, we’re putting together an analysis of the Top 20 speeches. It’s easy to identify political speeches but we’re looking for a variety. They can be political, but we’d also like any other types, too. They can be closing arguments, speeches in movies, lectures, sermons, Nobel Prize speeches…anything. Submit your favorites in the comments.

    Lincoln’s Second Inaugural.
    His First is also ace as is, of course, the Gettysburg Address. Short, eloquent, moving, inspiring…

    Also Obama’s campaign speech about race after the Wright affair. Stunning. The first time in my lifetime I heard a politician handle a tricky issue without condescension or slippery spin.
