Blog Five - Dr. kings speech

Dr. MLK was a very powerful out spoken man. His speeches were one of a kind and very inspiring. He had a few techniques that made his crowd go ballistic with joy and courage. For example he would use repetitions and body movements. MLK would speak about god and to non believers he would approach the situation in a general way, by not speaking about religion but by us human beings and how we had to look after each other. This made people feel more compassion and sympathy for one another and also gave them courage to face their fears with out being scared (MLK prepared them to face the violent acts they were going to be put against). These speeches were so powerful and persuading that it made a large number of people around the world realize what was really going on and motivated them support the non-violent act. These speeches connected so much to non violence because instead of responding back with force MLK decided to go about it a more clever way and use his voice to be seen, heard, and looked up to.

Third Essay Workshop- Non-violence Theory Practice

The Civil Rights movement was the turning point to all African Americans. This was what provoked all these movements against violence, segregation, discrimination etc. In A Testimony Of Hope  edited by James M. Washington introduces Dr. Martin Luther King and his thoughts and feeling he has about the practice of non-violence theory. Religion (Christianity) was the main  focus to encourage the non-violence movement and to persuade all African Americans but mainly adolescent and children into joining by supporting the movements. Kings constant words of hope was what gave people the strength and courage. He prepared them to not fear the injustice consequences that was going to be brought upon them. such as getting beat hosed down getting attacked by dogs and many more other violent acts. But having god by their side was bigger than getting revenge or fighting back.
