During this period from 1950- to early 1970s different reform movements took place to stop racial discrimination and racism against African Americans. This article describes the different ideas Martin Luther King Jr had to help Africans obtain justice without any violence. He proposed three different alternatives to violence. First, he states “this is not a method for cowards, it does resist.” The way King wanted to obtain equality was very passive and nonaggressive; he never wanted to be physically aggressive to his opponent. Moreover, on his second point, “nonviolence resistance does not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent, but to win friendship and understanding.” King thought that if there were no offenses or put downs to the enemy everything was to flow better between blacks and whites.

Kendal Hiatt Mrs. Hamilton AP Lang, 5th September 22, 2014 Analysis Essay (RD 2) Will Rogers once wrote, “We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.” In a millennium where free men lacked full freedom, recognizing the rights of others holds importance when looking towards African Americans and their role in the Union. In his speech to his fellow African Americans, Alfred M. Green’s inspiring call to action is presented through the use of strategic organization, shifting tone, and powerful appeals implicating the necessity of their military service in the Union (parallelism). In the first section of the passage, Green addresses the dreary past that the African Americans, including himself,

This is partially due the idea that each country thinks it is superior and only one country can prevail as the superior nation. Citizens from both warring countries will rally together to aid their country to victory. The people of a nation will forget about things such as race, sex, and different political views. After the American Civil War, patriotism took on an entirely new meaning for blacks and other minorities. Patriotism now meant that one would not only die for his country, but also that the government would guarantee social, political, and racial equality (O’Leary 112).
Invictus Movie Report Com 410: Leadership Strategies Justin Smith Introduction The Clint Eastwood movie by the name “Invictus” tells the story of Nelson Mandela, played by Morgan Freeman, during the beginning of his time as President of South Africa. The movie follows his struggle to unite the white and black South Africans after years of apartheid, as well as the South African rugby team which is to compete in the Rugby World Cup in the next year and how that sports team affected the entire nation. Modeling the Way As South Africa’s first black chief executive governing a country torn apart by apartheid, Mandela recognizes the challenge ahead of him. It’s his first day as president and the headline of the days paper reads ‘He can win an election, but can he run a country?’, to which he acknowledges, “It’s a legitimate question.” This shows his integrity of not letting fear conquer him, which is the foundation of one of Mandela’s most famous quotes; “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.

In order to understand, why the people respected him so much, we have to go a little bit before, the time of the movie.
I completely agree with Greenleaf on his theory that if someone possesses the potential to be a servant leader they should, in order to improve our society and our governmental leadership. In addition, if someone does not possess the potential, I think that they should remove themselves from the situation and therefore follow someone who is a servant-leader. In addition, I agree with Greenleaf that leadership should only be decided on by the group of individuals that the individual will take leadership among. For example, in Student Activities Board (SAB) at Lynchburg College to earn a leadership position on the board you must first go through a preliminary interview on your experience and background, and then you will reach your actual interview where the board will test your leadership abilities and servant skills.
