In the midst of national tumult, in the medium of international violent uproar, Coretta Scott King's face remained a study in serenity. In times of interior violent storms she sat, her hands resting in her lap calmly, like good children sleeping.

Her passion was never spent in public display. She offered her industry and her energies to action, toward righting ancient and current wrongs in this world.

She believed religiously in non-violent protest.

She believed it could heal a nation mired in a history of slavery and all its excesses.

She believed non-violent protest religiously could lift up a nation rife with racial prejudices and racial bias.

She was a quintessential African American woman, born in the small town repressive South, born of flesh and destined to become iron, born—born a cornflower and destined to become a steel magnolia.5

Speaking to Inform

Informative speeches seek to teach, educate, or enlighten. Nearly all talks to some extent include aspects of the informative speech. The challenge is to present practical material the audience will understand and remember. The speaker is not necessarily trying to persuade or convince the listeners to take one course of action over another. The point may be to provide options or alternatives. Training workshops and educational classes are informational, whether they take place in a classroom, at a work site, in a conference room, or on an athletic field. Highly skilled informative speakers use a variety of methods to increase the audience's ability to comprehend and retain information. Visual aids, demonstrations, role-playing, storytelling, and handout materials are all tools that reinforce learning points.

Musician Caroline Phillips is bringing an old-world instrument to new-age audiences. When the folk artist performs, she treats her audiences to a beginner's lesson on the hurdy-gurdy. The one-thousand-year-old string instrument looks like a cross between a violin and a large vacuum cleaner. Accompanied by a slide presentation with photos of the instrument, Phillips presents the hurdy-gurdy for dummies.
