The Penguin Book of Modern Speeches | 
I picked this up at a library book sale last week, and I‘m already finding it a great resource. I‘ve read two speeches which have helped give context to recent reads. First, “More African than American,” given by Malcolm X a week before his assassination, and then “We Shall Overcome,” an address Lyndon B. Johnson made to the House about a month later, in March 1965. The latter was depicted in Volume 3 of March by John Lewis.
