By MIKE ELDONMore by this AuthorThe Penguin Book of Modern Speeches (available at Text Book Centre and maybe elsewhere locally) reproduces a fascinating collection of speeches that have influenced history, and today I write about two among them. Before he delivered the speech, Mr Macmillan went on a six-week African tour that ended in South Africa. They had been prevented from meeting Mr Macmillan and at first were skeptical about his speech. 'INSPIRATION AND HOPE'Albert Luthuli agreed with Mr Mandela, stating that Mr Macmillan had given Africans inspiration and hope. The difference is that while Mr Macmillan was confronting the fears of the elite, Mr Powell and Mr Trump capitalised on those of people much lower down the social and economic ladders.
