Churchill's Missouri Speech 1946 | Movietone Moment | 5 March 2021

On this day in 1946, Sir Winston Churchill visited Westminster College as the Green Lecturer and delivered "Sinews of Peace," a message heard around the world that went down in history as the "Iron Curtain Speech." Here is a British Movietone report featuring parts of this speech.
It was a very big day in the history of Fulton, Missouri when President Truman and Winston Churchill paid their visit. During his address at Westminster College Mr Churchill spoke of the situation in Europe and the "iron curtain" which has descended between the east and west of the continent.
At Fulton's Westminster College. MCU Churchill and Truman seated in the car. Shots of them arriving. Churchill gives the V sign. Interior shots of President Truman introducing Mr. Churchill - calls him a great Englishman - but he's half American. Churchill making speech about Russia which includes: "an 'Iron Curtain' has descended over Europe etc." Crowds applauding. During the speech, the lights are put out which makes exposure rather bad.

I'm American and Sir Winston Churchill is one of my favorite heros of all time. I even ordered a TSHIRT with his picture of himself in his Top hat smoking a cigar. Theres one of his quotes about courage printed on the TSHIRT "Without courage all other virtues....!" I actually wore it yesterday. I also ordered a Margaret Thatcher TSHIRT that I wear often. It says "IRON" under her image. We need more heros like Churchill and Thatcher and Trump.
