LearnOutLoud.com Review

American Public Media presents this follow-up audio documentary to their production Say It Plain: A Century of Great African-American Speeches. In this audio documentary, they present speeches from prominent African-American figures from the 1960s up to the 2000s. They start with Malcolm X's The Ballot or the Bullet speech, which was critical of the nonviolent protests of the civil rights movement and in support of Black Nationalism. Other speeches in the documentary come from a variety of voices, including playwright Lorraine Hansberry, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., Black Panther founder Bobby Seale, affirmative action critic Ward Connerly, comedian Bill Cosby, and President Barack Obama. In this documentary, you'll get a wide range of views on the political goals of African-Americans at a time where significant civil rights achievements had been made, but rates of poverty and incarceration among African-Americans are also disproportionately high. Historians and intellectuals chime in with commentary on the speeches presented throughout the documentary. For transcripts of speeches and some audio excerpts of the speeches, check out the American RadioWorks website.
