Although Kennedy’s life was ended too early, he set many proud examples of equality and leadership to our world. He turned problems into answers and solutions. President Kennedy’s death caused much grief and sadness among all Americans across the nation. As the years have gone by and other presidents have written their chapters, JFK’s brief time in the office stands out in people’s memories for his leadership. He believed that people could solve their own common problems if they put their country’s interests first and worked for the answers they

The Kennedy family was very popular and had well-known moral standards, so it is no surprise that in John F Kennedy’s inaugural speech there were constant examples of ethos, in which he appealed to the audience through moral values. His moral standpoint became apparent as he mentions God and doing the right thing.

Robert Kennedy Speech “Remarks on the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.” (1968) explains that the death of Martin Luther King Jr, will affect their community but they must remain calm. Kennedy uses the motivational appeals of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos multiple times in his speech in order to get the message through his audience that went to support his conference campaign.

The aftermath of King’s death and Kennedy’s response can go multiple ways, from violent riots to peaceful protests to change in the way America thinks. If it were not for Kennedy’s speech, chaos would’ve swept the nation, and equality would’ve become out of African Americans’ grasp. In a way, Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination was a burning fire, and Robert F. Kennedy’s speech was a small

In 1963, minister and rights activist, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave a speech in front of Lincoln memorial to bring awareness to the unfairness of injustice for black people. King's speech was an effort to try and mandate the coming together of the black and white race and finally have the equality between us all be put into force for a free nation. As the speech left King’s mouth and entered 250,000 citizens ears, it left them to think about what point he was trying to make because he uses pathos, logos, and ethos.

As Kennedy was a young boy, we learn that he feels a sense of being alone, and a deficiency in seeing the contrast between him and his “superior” brothers, John and Joseph Jr.. We see Robert grow not only as a powerful leader of his own, but a person.

Jackson embedded numerous themes without the biography. One of those major themes was social status within the African American community. Throughout the book the author discusses the leaders

Malcolm X has made one of the greatest impacts on cultural consciousness for the African American Community during the second half of the twentieth century. He was a revolutionary icon who revolutionized the African American mindset. Malcolm X transformed modest African Americans into self confident, proud, powerful African Americans. No one could escape Malcolm’s influence, even after his death.

To support his claims, King employed the use of ethos, or credibility (Alfano and O’Brien 51). Fundamentally and above all, King stood centered at the heart of this critically harsh period as an African-American. He spent an unimaginable time in jail as he peacefully defended the justice and equality he believed his people deserved. Secondly, his education came to a high advantage for him. His basis of professionalism and expertise came from his undergraduate work at Morehouse College (The New York Times 1). From there King also became President of his class, won a spot to the integrated Crozer Theological Seminary, and completed a fellowship for his Ph. D. at Boston University (The New York Times 1). King’s time at these colleges and programs developed him into a well-informed and aware individual who later influenced public efforts and outcries. His participation through education and first-hand experience backed his ethos by providing a background in specific relation to his position on the fight for injustice to subside.

King’s compelling and ardent tone enlightens and informs the clergymen. In King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail he compels an old women to say in paragraph four, “my feet is tired, but my soul is rested.” She says this because of King’s inspiring words, such as, “They will be old, oppressed, battered, Negro women, symbolizing dignity.” (Paragraph, 3) In reference to the Negro women who are currently stepping up to peacefully protest civil rights.

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, said of her mother, “I think my mother made it clear you have to live life by your own terms and you have to not worry about what other people think and have the courage to do the unexpected”(Caroline Kennedy quotes, page 1). Jacqueline, known as Jackie, is one of the most well known women of the 1900’s. Showcasing her strong-will and grace from an early age, she inspired many people while serving as First Lady and after. While Jackie Kennedy on the surface seemed to live a charmed life as a prominent, beautiful woman, she endured the death of her son, the tragic death of her husband President John F. Kennedy, and the death of her second husband Ari Onassis. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier

If one man never steps forward to show all the others that change is possible, nothing will ever change. When you look back at history of the American civil rights movement, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are still often two of the first names even someone of today’s society may think of. They were, and still are, some of the most influential men to ever live. As young African-American men living during a time of harsh global, but most importantly, national racism and prejudice; teaching effective techniques to achieve peace and equality to others was extremely difficult for Dr. King and Malcolm X.

He saw how his father become invisible to the injustice of black around him and he decided to get involved. He had a generativity concern on improving black people rights in the world around him (Newman & Newman, 2015). As a young boy, he would watch TV, read articles, and read books regarding what people are doing to change the way blacks are treated. His father would be disappointed and hope he would just stay away for the violence, abuse, and other activist groups. After high school, he went on to Fisk University to be involve in the Freeman Riders and later the Black Panthers. Along the journey, he was kicked, spit on, arrested, and even witness brutal killings and prayed that he would not be killed for his rights.

King’s ethical philosophy is at the heart of his recognition to the rights, dignity, destiny and potential of Black people. King saw that unless we believe in ourselves, we could not believe in or
