Graham Bell Speech

On May 25th, 55 representatives from every state other than Road Island met in the Pennsylvania State house, Philadelphia, now known as Independence Hall. Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, were some of the well-known delegates. To begin with the convention was very secretive. In fact, no members of the press were permitted to observe, and no official journal of the events were kept. There was a chaperone assigned to Benjamin Franklin all the times, and the elder delegates who had a reputation for being chatty, these chaperones took the responsibility of making sure Franklin did not publicize details of the debate. It took around one hundred working days to frame the Constitution, during this time the

Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish inventor that had made things that have to do with hearing because his mother and wife were both deaf and his father taught elocution to the deaf, he was very interested in the science of sound, so Bell had gone to various schools

The general and widespread acceptance of Sir Isaac Newton’s models and laws may often be taken for granted, but this has not always been so. Throughout history, scientists and philosophers have built on each other’s theories to create improved and often revolutionary models. Although Newton was neither the first nor the last to bring major innovations to society, he was one of the most notable ones; many of his contributions are still in use today. With the formulation of his laws of motion, Sir Isaac Newton contributed to the downfall of Aristotelianism and provided a universal quantitative system for approximating and explaining a wide range of phenomena of space and the physics of motion, revolutionizing the study and understanding

During the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England, a soldier known to all yet at the same time not a face many recognize had to rise to the occasion. Armed only with faith and an army of farmers and other militiamen William Wallace and his men gather at the top of the hill opposite of the enemy getting ready for another battle, he looks to his men all with worry in their eyes, for they are outnumbered three to one. William with his faith and bravery begins to give a speech to try and rally his men. “Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.” William announces. A veteran speaks up, “William Wallace is 7 feet tall,”

Hello everyone and welcome to my new history channel, People of History. Today we will be discussing a very important inventor, who was known for the creation of the gas mask and the traffic signal, Mr. Garrett Augustus Morgan.

Over the years, Alexander made his way around the world, teaching people about, and promoting, oralism. During this time, Alexander attracted parents of deaf children who wanted their children to speak. Alexander truly believed that without the ability to speak, deaf people would never be able to fully participate in society. Alexander Graham Bell took it upon himself to find the most appropriate way for oralism to be the main form of communication, which

By April of 1871, a Scottish immigrant named, Alexander Graham Bell (founder of the telephone), laid a foundation for teaching deaf children in Boston. Bell had a deaf mother and wife, and was always involved with the Deaf community. According to Baynton, “Bell thought that signing prevented deaf people from learning to speak, so he was against deaf people using sign, their

A value that Calvin Coolidge discussed in his first speech as president of the Massachusetts State Senate is the concept of being the voice of people who cannot be a voice for themselves. He states, "Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science". By this he means that as a leader of the people, a person cannot be afraid of failure; but to be afraid to never try at all. In the first two lines of the excerpt, he explains that no matter what it is a person is supporting, they should be supporting it because they believe in it. A true leader stands behind what they feel is right, no matter what obstacles they must face in order to achieve their goal.

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

In Ida B. Wells’ 1893 speech, Lynch Law In All Its Phases, Wells addresses the rapid incline of white-on-black murders, predominantly in the southern part of The United States, alongside the unwillingness of local, state, and federal governments in cooperating to prosecute the perpetrators of these horrifying crimes. Throughout her speech, Wells explains how disregarding the factual evidence and police reports of these vicious crimes, the government effectively disenfranchises the black population from achieving the rights and opportunities, that are guaranteed to all Americans by the constitution, and only results in them becoming a prime example of a society that has failed to protect their citizens. Through the use of her empirical audience,

We build too many walls and not enough bridges. Greetings, I’m Sir Isaac Newton, the famed scientific discoverer of gravity. My childhood was anything but stable. Three months after my father died in 1642, I was born a small, premature infant on January 4th, 1643 in Lincolnshire. My mother remarried when I was 3 and left me with my grandmother. I hated my stepfather, and despised my mother for marrying him, even threatening to burn their house down. In school, I found my solace in books, particularly in science and mechanics. In my first year of college at Cambridge University, my mother returned and tried to make me a farmer, but farming was boring and derivative, so my uncle brought me back to school and I studied color, light, alchemy, history, and religion, particularly the Bible. After the plague, I was forced to return home, where I

In his life Alexander Graham Bell invented a number of wide ranging inventions. Starting from a labor saving de-husker in his youth to the famous telephone to the predecessor of radio and fiber optic communications--the photophone and also a metal detector. His impact on science is permanently honored by naming the unit of sound intensity the bel (more commonly used as a decibel.) Everyone’s life is still affected strongly by the giant leap that Mr. Bell took when he decided to help deaf students

Early in 1874 Bell met Thomas A. Watson, a young machinist at a Boston electrical shop. Watson became Bell’s indispensable assistant, bringing to Bell’s experiments the crucial ingredient that had been lacking, his technical expertise in electrical engineering. Together the two men spent endless hours experimenting (Paschoff 43,44). Although Bell formed the basic concept of the telephone using a varying but unbroken electric current to transmit the varying sound waves of human speech, in the summer of 1874, Hubbard insisted that the young inventor focus his efforts on the harmonic telegraph instead. Bell wanted to continue his work on the telephone but he complied. When he patented one of his telegraph designs in February 1875, he found that Elisha Gray had patented a multiple telegraph two days earlier. Greatly discouraged, Bell consulted in Washington with the elderly Joseph Henry, who urged Bell to pursue his “germ of a great invention” speech transmission (Grosvenor and Wesson 55).

“If I have seen further than others it is by standing on the shoulders of giant.” Sir Isaac Newton (Letter to Robert Hooke, 15 February 1676)

August 28th, 1963, 250,000 marchers stood in front of the Washington Monument to hear a message. A message from the leader of the civil rights leader whom many of the marchers have come to respect and follow. Marchers from all different backgrounds all supporting the civil rights and jobs for the African American community. Martin Luther King Jr. took the podium in front of these marchers and spoke a message that would inspire not just those present, but all of America to have a dream just like his. A dream in a country that has been stacking the cards against them for a couple hundred years. King took the podium and spoke of his dream, “… a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”” (King npg.). King’s speech resonated with thousands of African Americans and inspired them to dream his dream and start a movement that would lead them their civil rights.
