[Henry Wallace Speech] 1942
Henry Wallace’s speech emphasizes the determination of the American people to fight for freedom during World War II, likening the struggle to historical revolutions for democracy. He highlights the importance of the “Four Freedoms” – freedom of religion, expression, from fear, and from want – and outlines four corresponding duties: to produce, transport, fight, and build a lasting peace. Wallace stresses that the fight against Nazi oppression is a fight for the common man, and he expresses confidence in the American spirit and resolve to achieve victory and liberation for all oppressed peoples.
