“A speaker has to determine what he is trying to do and what is the setting. You give speeches for different reasons, and you’ve gotta know going in: Am I there to inform and inspire or am I going in there to entertain and impress? Then lock down two or three outlined points to inform them or razzle-dazzle them.”
– The Reverend Al Sharpton
Amen, Reverend Sharpton, Amen!
