Listen to and/or discuss excerpts from MLK and Malcolm X speeches.

MLK – I Have a Dream (1963):

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight.”

Malcolm X – The Ballot or the Bullet (1964):

“It’s liberty or it’s death. It’s freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.”

Tip: Add at least one sticky note for either speech. Use examples like:

Purpose → “MLK wanted to inspire hope for racial unity.”

Tone → “Malcolm X sounds urgent and confrontational.”
