    Imagine the satisfaction that 106 year old women felt after finally being able to vote for a black president after living through the entire civil rights movement
  • “I’ve never seen a skinny person drink Diet Coke”- Donald trump
  • @travistaylor6110
    Regardless of what people say and think about Barack Obama, that man can orate with some of the best. Few men have been able to captivate attention in the 21st century like this man. This was an excellent collection of orators, through and through.
  • @Howlingburd19
    On this day, 60 years ago, during the March on Washington, MLK delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech to about 250,000 people. I’m not black, but there’s a power and boldness in his speeches that is so unmatched! No matter what race or ethnicity you are, this is someone who everyone should look up to and respect: a hero and a warrior!
  • “Not judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” such a beautiful sentence🥺
  • @goldmantis5850
    I like how Harry Truman explained how he dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima like an old man reading a bedtime story to his grandchildren lmao
  • @The_Engineerr
    I really love when presidents actually respect each other.
  • @brhtcecc7026
    Man I’ve been a republican my whole life but Barack Obama’s inauguration speech was truly remarkable
  • @slushyslimshady
    "A man touched down on the Moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination" Yes we can! What a beautifully inspiring speech!
  • @texsion
    I love how MLK just walked away from his speech like he just spit some heat
  • @AndorranStairway
    RFK’s speech was incredible. MLK’s death spurred riots all around the country, but RFK managed to unify everyone by sharing his own personal experiences. And because of his speech, everyone went home that night in peace
  • @djefardeur7958
    Reverend Doctor Martin L.K almost made me tear up with his last speech. He knew what was going on, but was brave enough to keep proceeding with his mission on earth, leaving the masses with optimism, hope and courage... You didn't do all this in vain mister KING... REVOLUTION is on it's way!
  • @skiiimsk
    MLK’s “I’ve been to the mountaintop” speech brought me to tears.
  • “And so my fellow Americans. ASK NOT, what your country can do for YOU! ASK what YOU can do for your country!” Best line from John F. Kennedy
  • @lukethomas.125
    God, listening to Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech gives me goosebumps
  • @darrell2322
    Damn, MLK's last speech was literally him saying he is going to die.
  • Every time I hear MLK say "I may not get there with you" I just cry.
  • @hamidkhan-ir4ro
    These recordings are powerful reminder of the power of words to inspire, motivate, and unite people. This speech will undoubtedly be remembered for generations to come. Truly a masterpiece!
