  2. How Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did it. You can, too! Appealing to an Audience

  3. Person #1 “We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.” “I Have a Dream Speech”Audience Response “I am a Black woman, and I was not allowed into the college of my choice, because of my race. I’ve protested peacefully, but sometimes I think violence would get us what we want faster.”

  4. Person #2 “What do you Blacks want, anyway? You’re not slaves anymore, you know!” “I Have a Dream Speech”Audience Response “The Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.” “[The Declaration of Independence] was a promise that all men would be guaranteed … life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

  5. Person #3 “I’ve been beaten, sprayed with fire hoses and bitten by police dogs while marching for my rights in Alabama. Oh, you don’t know how tired I am of all of this. How can I continue?” “I Have a Dream Speech”Audience Response “Unearned suffering is redemptive…. This can and will be changed…. Do not wallow in the valley of despair.”

  6. Person #4 “Okay, okay, you want your rights. You’ve been given the right to ride buses without segregation. Let’s just slow down and go step by step, though. You cannot expect this to change overnight.” “I Have a Dream Speech”Audience Response “It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment…. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.”

  7. Person #5 “This guy King is against what America stands for. He thinks that America is evil, because we mistreat the Blacks. He wants to tear us apart!” “I Have a Dream Speech”Audience Response “I still have a dream. It is deeply rooted in the American dream.”
