The 4th of July or Independence Day in the USA is coming up. Have you got any suggested reading that's appropriate to the holiday?

Some initial thoughts (short essays and speeches):

  • Gettysburg Address - Abraham Lincoln
  • Common Sense - Thomas Paine
  • Seneca Falls Convention Declaration of Sentiments - primarily Elizabeth Cady Stanton
  • I Have a Dream speech - Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Ain't I A Woman? speech - Sojourner Truth
