Introduction: The Contest

The Ingersoll Oratory Contest is coming up. The event is set for noon at DuPont Circle in Washington, DC on June 30. I will be reciting the first section of introductory words of Ingersoll's About the Holy Bible speech, presented by The Great Agnostic in 1894.

The contest features 15 contestants channeling Ingersoll for up to six minutes. In honor of the event, let's revisit Royal Bob's talk on the subject of how to be an orator.
