I think the most polarizing speech to date is the Mountaintop Speech that Martin Luther King Jr. gave the day before he was assassinated. I heard the audio from the speech some time back, and his closing lines just stuck with me. It was as if he knew something was going to happen, and he told his fellow people that he may not make it with them over the mountaintop, but he has seen it, and they will all get there. He let them know that he has no fear of what may happen to him in the upcoming days, because he has done God's will by getting them to the mountain top. He is so fulfilled and full of hope that they will finally reach the "promise land." If you haven't heard this audio, I suggest you do, it's an amazing piece of our history.
