America, Wake Up | Nicola Walker | Figures of Speech

Nicola Walker reads Elizabeth Glaser's 1992 Democratic National Convention Address 'America, Wake Up', a landmark speech on the AIDS epidemic.

We believe what changes opinion, changes narrative, changes momentum, are words. Words crafted from genuinely big ideas, delivered through deft structure by inspirational women and men, wherever a meaningful audience can be found. By exploring some of the world’s most vital speeches we want to remember what leadership sounds like, through speeches which have carved a path through our history by changing hearts and minds.
