Great Speeches that Changed The World
On the day of Barack Obama's inaugural address in Washington D.C. It seemed an appropriate time to look at some of the great speeches that have influenced and changed the world.
These great speeches often provided the seed for powerful social or political change. They also inspired nations and races in their darkest hour.
Perhaps none more so than Winston Churchill's defiant speeches in 1940 and 41, as Britain stood alone against the Nazi conquered Europe.
These speeches are often beacons of hope from Martin Luther King's - "I Have a Dream" to Nelson Mandela's "Rainbow nation speech"
The speeches are also important reminders of basic moral values from Jesus Christ's 'Sermon on the Mount'' to Mother Teresa's Nobel Peace prize acceptance speech.

Good information. I would like to add that the speeches can give a good impact or a bad impact. Like Swami Vivekanda's speeches gave a good impact. But Osama Bin Laden's Speeches gave a very bad impact. Speeches can change the world. A very good data piece, very impressive
Our leaders have a huge responsibility and what they say can have both positive and negative impact. It is good to read some of their speeches and see the impact it has had on our society.
