LearnOutLoud.com Review:
 Excellent Showcase of Great African American Speakers | This hour-long audio documentary from American RadioWorks is an excellent introduction to great African American speakers of the last century. In chronological order it covers speeches all the way back to Booker T. Washington''s address at the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition up to Barack Obama''s recent speech at the Democratic National Convention. The hour-long documentary features excerpts of the speeches with interviews and commentary on their significance, and if you liked a particular speech American RadioWorks offers each speech individually as streaming audio so you can listen to it in its entirety. |
