King points out that although so much time has passed since the Emancipation Proclamation, there are still many injustices African Americans face, such as segregation and discrimination. King wants his audience to realize that although slavery is in their past, there are still laws in their society that are racist. This would motivate his listeners to fight to repeal those laws and make changes towards equality in their cities. ]]> 2020-11-10 22:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/klayana/zmj3n45j2qfhdgdj/wish/910849163 klayana https://padlet.com/klayana/zmj3n45j2qfhdgdj/wish/910849515 This would say something similar to the example above. ]]> 2020-11-10 22:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/klayana/zmj3n45j2qfhdgdj/wish/910849515 klayana https://padlet.com/klayana/zmj3n45j2qfhdgdj/wish/910849999 Both MLK and Atticus are advocating for equal rights and racial justice. MLK aims more specifically to achieve the racial justice that has been promised to him and all African Americans. Atticus’s purpose focuses on ensuring racial justice is seen in the justice system and equal treatment is given to each and every person who enters the court room. Both MLK and Atticus believe that people should never be treated differently based on the color of their skin.]]> 2020-11-10 22:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/klayana/zmj3n45j2qfhdgdj/wish/910849999 klayana https://padlet.com/klayana/zmj3n45j2qfhdgdj/wish/910850244 Both speeches begin with a somber tone describing the current society and the impact racism has on those living in it. MLK switches to a more inspirational and hopeful tone as a means to motivate this audience to take up the cause. He ends his speech on an uplifting note, repeating the line "I have a dream" to show his hope for the future. Atticus tends to be more accusatory in his tone, speaking to a jury that he fears will condemn a man based on the color of this skin. He ends his speech with less hope in his audience. In desperate plead, he whispers, "In the name of God, believe him" showing how he is not so hopeful that his audience will join his cause. ]]> 2020-11-10 22:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/klayana/zmj3n45j2qfhdgdj/wish/910850244
