I did the first page of this speech with my conversation class students here in Japan, a bunch of folks ranging from their 30's to their late 70's. They were ENTHRALLED by it, took a while to explain some of the ****phors as their way of talking doesnt work like that, but they wanted to stay on for extra time to keep going with it.

A great man, beautiful speech to listen to. His way proved much more effective than Malcolm X's.

(Me being a socialist Euro wouldn't do so as Im limited to working 7 hours a week and taking 8 month holidays!!)
