[Nfb-history] favorite convention banquet speeches

[Jaquiss, Robert]

Hello:

     One of my favorite speeches is: Is History Against Us. Dr. Jernigan delivered it in 1973. Dr. Jernigan's 1990 speech talking about the first fifty years is also a great speech.

Regards,

Robert

Hi all,

As I am a newer member of the NFB, and starting to get interested 
in the history of the Federation, I have a question for you more 
experienced Federationists and history buffs.  :) This could also 
start a great discussion that may help many of us find some 
historical information.  If you had to pick, what are your 
personal favorite National Convention banquet speeches from Dr.  
tenBroek, Dr.  Jernigan, and Dr.  Maurer? I ask this so I can get 
recommendations for banquet speeches I may want to read and/or 
listen to.  Please let us know!
