Extraordinary Speeches of the American Century
Paperback
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Organized chronologically by decades, these judiciously selected speeches capture the disputes that divided—and the ideals that united—20th-century Americans.
The 160 speeches (often paired) range from Ida B. Wells condemning lynchings while Teddy Roosevelt condemns muckrakers (1900–09), to Wellesley graduate Hillary Rodham advocating "constructive protest" while Spiro T. Agnew decries "effete corps of impudent snobs" (1960–69), to Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill disputing the judge’s record on sexual harassment (1990–99).
Quantities are limited.
