speech

Some persons have the ability to inspire people by the words they utter. A few of the speeches that influenced me are listed below. The one by Nelson Mandela is especially dear to me, as I witnessed it live during the 46664 concert in George, South Africa. At that time I was staying in SA for my master’s thesis research on an HIV prevention program.
