As we shall see throughout this book, there are many resources on the World Wide Web for public speakers. One of those resources is an extensive collection of speeches from U.S. history, which you can access at Douglass: Archives of American Public Address (http://douglassarchives.org/).

Thousands of people in the United States earn their living as professional public speakers. You can learn about their activities at the National Speakers Association Web site (www.nsaspeaker.org/).
