As the letter progresses, king becomes very clear of his mission of liberation. In the fifth paragraph and thereafter, he sets the scene of Birmingham and how unjust the authority has been to the black race. Finally, king delivers his concrete point and probably his main intention in the closing stages of his letter by calling for unity against human injustices. King understands that this can only be done through unity and thus he asks for forgiveness from his accusers once again. In this letter, king really wanted to convince his accusers of his justification in staging anti racism demonstration.
King wrote nonfiction that were inspirational and were mainly converted to speeches. As a speechwriter, Luther was recognized as one of the best in his time and even after his time. Martin Luther King, Jr. was an icon for modern American Liberalism. King’s genre was mainly speechwriting and African American History as well as pieces of motivational works. King also gave sermons as a pastor in favor of racial equality.
Each discussed the same issues, but their methods of achievement and ideas about equal opportunity differed as much as night and day. Although both greatly influential civil rights activists, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. had some very significant differences in their backgrounds and methods of delivery in their messages of equality. Both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. spread their views through assertive, hard-hitting, powerful speeches. Nevertheless, their intentions were delivered in different styles and purposes. As an inspirational speaker, Martin Luther King Jr. traveled the country, giving speeches that motivated both blacks and whites to live in racial harmony.
He explains the difference between unjust and just laws saying a just law is one that is made by man but parallels the code and laws of God.

[627] He then point out the distinction between his arrest for not having a permit to parade, and that he was really arrested because he was promoting desegregation. He then points out the First amendments right of peaceful assembly and protest. He says that if you are going to disobey the law you must do it so with a willingness to admit it and acceptance of the appropriate punishment- that in turn is an example of respecting the
In attempting to answer the thesis stated above one will begin by evaluating the political advocacy of King and Malcolm X. King's advocacy derives from a sentiment of political activity without collective cooperation towards violence. He fought against the system defiantly but not in the same way one would suppose. He was a supporter of non-violent sit-ins and other forms of political movements that were purposely targeted towards a united state. Malcolm X on the other hand was less idealistic
Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.” Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most revered leaders of the 20th century. But he was also more than that; Dr. King was also one of America’s most devout Christians and played a very important role in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Perhaps the most impressive skill he possessed was his excellent writing style. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a very talented speaker and leader who was able to get his beliefs across clearly with the combination of his skill with literary devices and his passion for his subject. Son to Reverend Martin Luther King Sr. and Alberta Williams King on January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King
Both Bill Gates and Martin Luther King were raised in two different environments which make them both different in their processes of creativity. Bill Gates was raise in a closely bonded family that allowed him to become independent thinker and a leader, which led him to be a leader in the innovation of technology.

Even though King was only one of the several speakers, his speech became known for the March and then the entire civil rights movement because of several factors. Martin Luther King, Jr. is believed to be one of the greatest speakers of the twentieth century. His thoughts were right along with those at the March, and he was accurate in his beliefs. In “I Have a Dream” King referenced several important governmental documents.
This is because the representation includes what it should based on my knowledge. The representation talks about key individuals (like Martin Luther king), attitudes, consequences of the protests, Law enforcement, Governments (federal government and president Kennedy), laws and finally different protest like the sit in, March on Washington, Montgomery boycotts and Freedom riders................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... This shows that representation is the best for completeness as it’s complete and it includes what it should based on my knowledge and shows the impact of protest on the US society. Therefore, representation 2 is substantially
King fights to stop injustice by using nonviolence. He protests and makes speeches to stop the racial discrimination. King says “We who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
