James Earl Jones' dramatic reenactment of Paul Robeson's appearance before the House of Un-American Activities Committee
Commenting just to say to anyone who hasn’t seen it and for some reason is checking comments first: this is worth listening to.
If you liked this speech then you'll probably enjoy the minutes from Georgi Dimitrov's appearance in a German court where he was accused by the Nazi Party of conspiring to burn the Reichstag.
It requires a little bit of foreknowledge of that moment in history but if you want to do a bit of a deep dive in a historical moment then focusing on this one is pretty neat.
If you are just looking for another firebrand speech during judicial proceedings then this particular Dimitrov speech before the court might scratch that itch.
