On 1960 a Jewish speaker was needed to address the White House Conference on Children and Youth.  Abraham Joshua Heschel was asked but declined because his English was so poor; he felt insecure.

Eventually, Rabbi Wolfe Kelman convinced him to go.  He was the sensation of the conference.  He received a standing ovation from the 4,000 delegates.
