This Day in History: English politician Enoch Powell was born on this day in 1912. All of these decades later, Enoch Powell is mainly known for one thing: his "Rivers of Blood" speech he made in 1968. He made the speech in reference to the dangers of immigration and multi-culturalism, and it is now remembered and mentioned as a Trojan Horse warning after each race riot. It was widely regarded in his own time, and for many it is prophetic. This speech was not the only mainstream attempt to bring this topic to the fore. Others are "The Death of the West" by Pat Buchanan, "The Strange Death of Europe" by Douglas Murray, "Submission" by Michel Houellebecq and "The Diversity Delusion" by Heather Macdonald.
