It was a common practice to address political and other public issues by delivering a speech in a park to whoever would stop to listen. One place that is famous for this practice is Hyde Park in London. In order to be seen and heard, the speaker would carry with him a light wooden box, called a soapbox from its previous purpose, to stand on. Metaphorically, to speak from a soapbox is to make yourself heard publicly.
