The stirring words of the 16 speakers inside have formed milestones in modern history and engaged generations on important issues including war, women's rights, climate change and civil rights.
Covering speeches from the last 150 years, explore the events leading up to each speech, listen to the words, and discover the impact they had on the world. Presented in graphic novel style, this is a book to inspire a new generation of thinkers and talkers.
