What separates us from chimpanzees? - Mar. 1, 2003
March 1, 2003
Good morning everyone. First of all, it's been fantastic being here over these past few days. And secondly, I feel it's a great honor to kind of wind up this extraordinary gathering of people, these amazing talks that we've had. I feel that I've fitted in, in many ways, to some of the things that I've heard. I came directly here from the deep, deep tropical rainforest in Ecuador, where you could only get there by plane, with indigenous people with paint on their faces and parrot feathers on their […]

UN Messenger of Peace Dr. Jane Goodall Addresses the Climate Assembly – Aug. 14, 2023
August 14, 2023
Hello, this is Jane Goodall, and I really wish I could be with you all. I’m speaking from the house where I was brought up in the UK. I was brought up as a Christian. My grandfather was a congregational minister. We went to church and worshiped God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. But my wise mother told me that if I’d been born to a Jewish family, I’d worship Jehovah, to a Muslim family, Allah, to a Native American family, the Creator, and so […]

Well, first of all, good evening to all of you. Can you hear? AUDIENCE: No. Laughter That's what I thought. Well, I think we'd better start by getting this right. Can we have somebody up here to help with the microphones? Some sound expert? And, could we have the house lights up a little bit so I can see everybody in front of me. Could you put the house lights, can somebody make the mics work? Laughter Are we doing any better? Well, this isn't my job. Laughter Greetings from […]

American Slavery and its Influence on Great Britain – Aug. 14-21, 1861
August 14, 1861
The Influence of nation upon nation can scarcely be over-estimated since steam has brought the inhabitants of distant countries into more intimate relations with each other. No two countries separated by the same distance have been more closely connected through many channels than the States of North America and Great Britain, and the influence of national character becomes a matter of serious importance. Chattel slavery as it exists in the Southern States of North America is the colossal evil, the prolific source which has corrupted the public opinion throughout the […]

Because They Are Men and Women - 1859
January 1, 1859
I appeal on behalf of four millions of men, women, and children who are chattels in the Southern States of America. Not because they are identical with my race and color, though I am proud of that identity, but because they are men and women. The sum of sixteen hundred millions of dollars is invested in their bones, sinews, and flesh — is this not sufficient reason why all the friends of humanity should not endeavor with all their might and power, to overturn the vile systems of slavery.
