Ninoy Aquino's Freedom Rally Speech at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, February 15, 1981

23 August 2009

On February 15, 1981, Ninoy Aquino gave a historic speech before a jam-packed audience of Filipinos and Americans at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles.

This speech is undoubtedly one of the most significant discourses in the history of the Philippines, delivered, ironically, in the United States by one of the most engaging storytellers who ever lived.  Ninoy's genius is evident in his ability to make his audience laugh at will while telling them about matters dealing with life and death.
