August 28, 1963 (Eidenmuller) marked a very important day in history that had an impact not only on America, but the whole world.

He strongly believed that one day people would put their differences aside and come together. So, what happened to that dream?

In these essays, both provide solid evidence to support their main goal with the use of different writing styles, tone, and rhetorical devices to display how African Americans are perceived and treated by society.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said "A riot is the language of the unheard." The Oka Confrontation, commonly known as the Oka Crisis, is yet another hardship faced and is continuing to be faced by Native Canadians. Specifically, the Mohawk.

When their land rights were threatened, they decided that enough was enough and that they were not going to accept this anymore. It was about time they were respected. The Oka Crisis was part of the revolution of the First Nations as Canadians and as equals. They were not going to be pushed around anymore and accept what the white people laid out in front of them, they were there to make their own decisions and keep what is rightfully theirs. After years of oppression, this was the last straw.
