"Not the critic who counts" recited at Stratford celebration
Summary
A speaker at a Stratford event recited Theodore Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" and introduced himself as Edward Josiah Negbo, describing himself as a Stratford patriot voice marking America's 250th anniversary.
Edward Josiah Negbo opened a Stratford celebration by reciting a passage from Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 essay "Citizenship in the Republic," saying, "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood." He then identified himself as "one of Stratford's patriot voices celebrating America at 250." The transcript contains only the brief quotation and the speaker's self-introduction; no civic business, motions, votes, or agenda items were recorded.
