Wikisource has original speeches held at the:

Amandla Festival

The word "Amandla" comes from the South-African Zulu language and means "power", "strength" or "energy". The headline performance was done by reggae superstar Bob Marley and his band The Wailers; Marley made several short speeches during his encore songs when he was powerfully blaming the system and urgently claiming Africa's unity and freedom. Those speeches onstage were unusual for Marley, as he normally was threatened to be censored when speaking openly about the system's failure and marihuana smoking, like he did at the Amandla Festival. Other performers were soul legend Patti LaBelle, jazz pianist Eddie Palmieri, drummer Babatunde Olatunji, the South African band Jabula, and comedian Dick Gregory who held a speech before Marley's performance.
