Crafting Inspiration: Why Speeches of Abraham Lincoln & Martin Luther King, Jr. Still Motivate Us Today
An address at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and a speech on the National Mall in Washington, DC both mark important eras in our history. Why did the words from these speeches make such a dramatic impact on the historical memory of the United States?
Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches are separated by almost 100 years, yet they share a compelling similarity: both speeches make the seemingly impossible appear not only possible but desirable.
Outstanding Young Musicians and World-Renowned Conductors Present an Overarching Vision of What Music Can be at the National Orchestral Institute and Festival, June 6 - 29
