I spent a lot more time checking out Americanrhetoric.com’s list of the Top 100 Speeches of the 20th century than I first thought I would.

Full text, audio, and video database of the 100 most significant American political speeches of the 20th century, according to 137 leading scholars of American public address, as compiled by Stephen E. Lucas (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Martin J. Medhurst (Baylor University).

Overall the site has a audio/visual library of over 5000 “full text, audio and video versions of public speeches, sermons, legal proceedings, lectures, debates, interviews, other recorded media events”.

Most Requested Speeches (when we visited):

1. MLK: I Have A Dream
2. Barack Obama: 2004 DNC
3. JFK: Inaugural
4. MLK: On Vietnam
5. MLK: Mountaintop
6. X: Ballot or Bullet
