Great Speeches
21Feb07
Just in time for Black History month. Have a listen to these excellent speeches:
Frederick Douglass - What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? [mp3]
Martin Luther King - I Have a Dream [mp3]
(from learnoutloud.com’s Great Speeches in History podcast - listing of all their podcasts)
Up for more history? My friend Matt Bunn is currently teaching World History and American History at the local community college. Slideshow presentations he created for the classes are available online at slideshare.net; a sort of YouTube for Powerpoint. I also worked with Matt to create a quick website for the class using Wordpress.

Thanks. It’s good to listen again to those speeches.
FYI: We are celebrating Black History Month in Germany and focus on Afro-German artists.
Cool, so what about that new Arcade Fire album?
Their new album isn’t quite in the same league as their debut. However, I do enjoy the songs Keep the Car Running, Intervention, and My Body is a Cage in particular. Other songs do have some nice moments.
