To research your original oratory topic, you could try these sites:

  • Don't forget Google.com. It's the most comprehensive search engine you can find.
  • Lexis-Nexis is the premier place to start your research on current events.  It includes everything from medical research to television news transcripts. If it's been written or talked about, it's there!
