what i mean is that Pearsons speech isnt one of those more commonly studied speeches and thus would be something overlooked by alot of students. They'd pick something with more substance to it but one that everyone has done.
My English teacher summed it up pretty well. If they do ask for one specific its going to be pretty generic cause they cant put everyone at a disadvantage by choosing something like Pearson. So as long as you know the major ones like King, Socrates wateva you should be fine
