There's this website I want to point out to you. American Rhetoric. From the site:
Index to and growing database of 5000+ full text, audio and video (streaming) versions of public speeches, sermons, legal proceedings, lectures, debates, interviews, other recorded media events, and a declaration or two.
Examples? Martin Luther King's I have a Dream speech. John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Speech. MacArthur's Duty, Honor, Country speech. Roosevelt on the date that will live in infamy.
