Three Favorite Speakers

Anyone who loves speeches can’t help but have a few favorites. Mine are Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, and Bobby Kennedy. Yes, the latter was not as articulate or polished an orator as his brother, Jack, but there is something so raw and powerful and painful that comes out of Bobby’s mouth that you know he is speaking the truth.

The links below connect you with my thoughts on these three speakers and, what I think, are their most powerful speeches. There is a lot to learn from reading, listening to, or seeing the masters in action.
