Washington (Will Chris) delivering his famous “Atlanta Compromise” speech, civil rights advocate Mary E. Church Terrell (Casaundra Freeman) delivering a blistering condemnation of how women of color were treated at the nation’s Capitol, President Theodore Roosevelt (Ted Koch) speaking only moments after having been assaulted by an assassin and addressing a campaign crowd with a bullet in his chest and, in a special presentation, the final statements of Defendants Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (Paul Stroili) speaking to Judge Webster Thayer (B. Lawrence Theis) just before they were sentenced to death for murder.
