The act of lecturing, spouting, ranting about a particular subject to attempt to make a point or a stand. Derives from the days when people, such as ministers, actors, strikers, abolitionists, rights defenders, etc. would take [a sturdy] [soapbox] (soap came in wooden crates then), carry it to a wtreet corner, and begin preaching their point to the [passerbyers].
