The Pros And Cons Of Segregation Laws

Dr. King was often regarded as one of the most prominent figures and also the face in the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King advocated against discrimination and he gave various speeches all over the nation about the moral crime of racism. One important speech that Dr. King has given, but is often forgotten, is the one when he spoke at Jonathan Dayton Regional High School. With the help of Rabbi Dresner, Dr. King was able to speak at Jonathan Dayton High School, despite the large and open resistance from the community.

Lyndon Johnson’s mix of Pathos and Logos helped convinced the crowd into helping him abolish racist voting restrictions. In the speech “We shall overcome,” Lyndon Baines Johnson used Logos and Pathos to convince the crowd, and backed it up with a strong, determined tone. In this speech, Lyndon Johnson stated how unfair the racist voting restrictions and said that it was wrong and that everyone had a right to vote. He also backed everything up with a stern, unbreakable voice to help deliver his

John Lewis also worked with his idol, Martin Luther King Jr., to make change for the people of America (biography). Lewis had many different ways to change America peacefully. He had a lot of marches and public demonstrations to show people the difference in treatment between blacks and whites. (johnlewis) In the beginning of Lewis’s development as a civil rights leader, he went to the American Baptist Theological Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee.

On February 21, 1965 we lost one of the worlds best freedom fighters there will ever be. Malcolm X was a strong willed and independent man who was not afraid to speak his mind. He brought the fight and will power to the black community. Malcolm X had very different ways and he was not like other freedom fighters who just talked he went out and did it. Malcolm X's assassination was very unjust he was a outspoken leader, motivational speaker and a Civil Rights Activist.

To persuade people to join the civil rights movement he used his speech skills, which was one of his best qualities. One of the most popular speeches was by him. Martin Luther King Jr. had one goal and that was to give everyone equal rights and he didn’t care what the consequences were and he knew that he was in danger every time he spoke but, he kept going. Martin Luther King Jr.

Tutu’s rise to international prominence began when he became the first black person to be appointed the Anglican Dean of Johannesburg in 1975 ("Desmond Tutu"). It was in this position that he emerged as one of the most prominent and persuasive voices in the South African anti-apartheid movement. Desmond Tutu was very engaged and hardworking for many causes, in 1976 he wrote a letter to the South African Prime Minister warning him that a failure to quickly correct racial inequality could have dire consequences, but his letter was ignored ("Desmond Tutu Biography"). Desmond Tutu is commonly recognized among the world 's leading human rights activists. Like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, his teachings reached far beyond the specific causes for which he advocated for ("Desmond Tutu").

This cannot be succeeded by one person. It needs a team. For instance, Martin Luther King led the non-violence protest to bring the equality rights for Black American in 1963. He won a noble prize and gave such a powerful speech, “I have a dream” which was inspired by everyone. Furthermore, he quoted that “An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the

If it weren't for these prejudice thoughts, many people would be together united as one fighting to better one another. As Brent states in “Black Men and Public Space,” “the hatred he feels for blacks makes itself known to him through a variety of avenues - one being his discomfort with that ‘special brand of paranoid touchiness’ to which he says blacks are prone.” (514). Due to this fear of one another, it has brought much tension among many. This discrimination has been going on for many years and is what makes the United States divided.

In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” he uses periodic sentences, syntax, diction, and allusions to write about his beliefs about the immense struggles African Americans experienced to gain their rights, how he views just and unjust laws, the many different influences have in their lives, and the cruel nature of the citizens, which are still prevalent today. First of all, African Americans went through immense struggles to get the rights they have today. African Americans watched their family members be innocently killed, experienced multiple cruel acts of segregation, and often felt strong resentment to the White population. For instance, Dr. King uses a periodic sentence and imagery to express the immense struggles African Americans endured to gain the

The most important element of this movement was the civil rights activists. These people were articulate, strong willed, and empowering leaders that inspired Americans both at the time all the way through today. One man in particular, Malcolm X managed to stand apart from such an impressive crowd. His brilliant public speaking skills lifted people all around the USA to action. Although today he is respected and credited for his work during the time, his alternative methods were not always seen this way.

This was a major success and step forward for the movement as a whole because many African Americans had been fighting for voting rights for quite some time. African Americans were also no longer allowed to be denied service in restaurants because of the color of their skin under this new law, meaning when this law came along it replaced the discriminating Jim Crow laws (Stewart et.al.). The Greensboro, NC sit-in largely contributed to this law because they showed how people of all colors should be allowed to share a meal with one another. The act took forever to pass but in the end in July 1964 it was passed (Stewart et. al.)

In order for god-fearing, pious, exemplary citizens to participate in something as criminal and ungodly as slavery, you would have to have a doctrine to base your actions on. Religion has been the excuse for countless act of terrorism, and much worse than what happens with Isis and the Taliban of today, slavery was the greatest form of terrorism in our country’s history. In addition to the bible doctrine, there were clear physical differences between the races bodies. Complexions were the most glaring characteristics popping out at explorers and settlers.

This is shown by the creation of radical groups such as the Black Panthers who have sworn an oath to take care of their fellow “black” communities, while swearing an oath to hate towards all whites and even doing things such as beating/killing people who are white because of how Africans were treated in the past. Nobody, not even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself, could have expected that after abolishing segregation, and Jim Crow that so much hatred could be released towards each other. The reason that segregation has kept people in poverty, is because due to their attitudes towards other ethnicities, it keeps them from advancing and life and keeping hold onto things that were a mistake and shouldn’t have been done; but they don’t feel like they deserve to be forgiven which is a sad shame for people. Once people are able to forgive each other and can forgive themselves, they will begin to get out of poverty and provide for themselves; and they can begin to get along with others which will lead to the manifestation of a society where people won’t feel hatred towards each other and could escape the deeps grasps of poverty. Also, when people begin to not feel hatred towards each other, this begins the actual dream of world peace, but can’t be achieved because of the indifference between them.

OUTLINE Thesis: The repercussions of institutionalized prejudice are far too great for any group to overcome. Jim Crow laws repressed many black americans in the 1850s and the repercussions of that are still affecting black society today. Similarly in the 1800s woman were legally restricted from many of the things men were and still are still unfairly treated to in society today. Main Idea: Jim Crow laws repressed many black americans in the 1850s.

In September 1966, Carmichael published an article in The New York Review of Books titled “What We Want” in. The article states that even though there are so many leaders who lead the civil right movement to gain equality, the movements’ “tone of voice was adapted to an audience of liberal whites” and that none of its so-called leaders could go into a rioting community and be listened to.” He states such movements are useless and does nothing to help the black community at all. He claims, “for too many years, black Americans marched and had their heads broken and got shot.” Carmichael states that the reason why the movement was not working is because the demonstrations were too weak.
