Billy Graham was a great communicator. This Natural preacher has taken his evangelistic message of the Gospels to the world's masses, in the most literal of senses. Dr. Graham has spoken to and influenced millions of people, of different backgrounds and faiths, of all ages and cultures.

“Martin Luther King, Jr.. Dr. King's message of nonviolent social change brought to the American public's consciousness the pressing need for equality of all people, regardless of race. Dr. King's 1963 "I Have A Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial has been elevated to one of the great pieces of oratory in American history. His ability to articulate the desires of minorities for social and economic justice, and the rightness of the cause, became the major driver of the 1960s civil-rights movement.” (http://ezinearticles.com/?10-Great-Communicators-of-the-Modern-Era&id=6520059)
