Nelson Mandela

By thanking his supporters, he encourages continuous support to pursue his ideal of equality and freedom. Mandela wants to engage the different dichotomies to unite the people of South Africa. Most importantly he speaks for the abolishment of the apartheid government. His tone is passionate and motivational, and his delivery is slow and deliberate which is important to convey his message as he needs to empower his listeners towards action. With methods of development, he successfully conveys his tone. Using anaphora at the beginning with his salutations, he is able to emphasize his thankful sentiments towards his supporters. He also uses lots of symbolism and patriotism to emotionally appeal to citizens. With parallelism in sentences, he creates balance and rhythm in his speech. Repetition is used when speaking about things he intends to do. For example, he repeatedly uses negotiate to emphasize its necessity. The speech in my opinion is very effective because Mandela uses emotional appeal at the start to engage listeners and to receive sympathy. With the momentum from that, he adds logical and ethical arguments to deliver his point. A year later Mandela was elected as president and he won the Nobel Peace Prize so history can confirm its effectiveness. Nelson Mandela was a very influential speaker, allowing him to become one of the most influential leaders of the 20th

Mandela was a very important leader in the struggle against apartheid. Like many other struggle leaders, he was thrown in jail more than once and spent 27 years of his life in jail. He became an important symbol for human rights and anti-apartheid campaigns all over the world. In 1990 he was finally released from jail, and he became an important leader in the talks with President F.W. de Klerk about a South Africa free from apartheid.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader in the Civil Rights Era, advocating for the Civil Rights Act’s passage and eventually passage of the Voting Rights Act in the 1960s. In his capacity as a Civil Rights leader, MLK delivered his famous “I have a dream” speech after the march for Civil Rights in Washington, D.C. His speech was delivered on August 28th in front of the Lincoln Memorial. In his speech, MLK made sure to emphasize the hope that many African Americans had in the United States. Furthermore, MLK makes it clear that hope to him is defined as, “Sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners can sit down at the table of brotherhood… that Mississippi will someday be turned into an oasis of freedom and justice… that [his] children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” (King, 219) MLK’s sense of hope is shared by his need for the humane and equal treatment of African Americans. Moreover, MLK stands and speaks in front of Abraham Lincoln’s National Monument, alluding to the historic signing of the Emancipation Proclamation which abolished slavery. The significance of this allusion helps to show the progress that has yet to be made, the fact that African Americans 100 years later still need to fight to be treated like human beings. MLK hopes to lead a movement which will see the abolishment of segregation between people of color and white people, as well as the right for African Americans to vote and reform their

The life story of Nelson Mandela has long become a legend, a story that transcends race, borders, culture, or language. He is one of the greatest leaders to ever step foot on this Earth. He was willing to give up his own personal freedoms for the good of his people. Still, his decisions at major points in his lifetime hold lessons for individuals who are inspired of becoming good leaders. Many leaders are inspired by the actions and decision-makings abilities of Mandela. He kept the interest of others before his own. This is what made Nelson Mandela a great leader, and worthy of winning a Nobel Prize. From the decisions he made, and his life experiences while fighting for human rights, one can conclude that Mandela is truly

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” (“Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes”). In perhaps, one of the most famous speeches of humanity, Martin Luther King, Jr’s. “I Have A Dream” speech had one main point; that all deserve to be equal. Unfortunately, King’s dream hasn’t been reached yet, and African-Americans are still discriminated against and judged unfairly. According to the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, racial discrimination is the act of treating someone differently or unfairly because of race (“Race/Color Discrimination”). Martin Luther King Jr. believed that all people should be treated the same regardless of ethnicity. Therefore, American society should care about racial discrimination because the rate of African-Americans in jail is much higher than whites, innocent African-Americans have been killed by police without reason, and African-Americans are often profiled by the police.

After Martin Luther King Jr. presenting his speech known as “I have a dream” on March 1963, now five decades has passed. We were once again forced to ask ourselves: did we yet have a long way?

Even though Martin Luther King Junior and Mahatma Gandhi both struggled, I think that the charisma in them influenced social change, because of their tactics used, like non-violence. Martin Luther King Junior and Gandhi both functions as charismatic leaders and influenced others with their fascinatingly positive attitudes. It was hard for them to get there message 's and world view 's across but they remained strong and preserved through their struggles, no matter how tough things got. Gandhi transmitted his message without resorting to violence and Martian Luther King Junior learned from Gandhi and shows why non-violence is key.

The month of May is set aside each year to celebrate African American History. When you think of Black History month, the first thing that we all think about is the historical speech, “I have a dream”. However, he did so much more than just present the speech that we all are familiar with had moral values that he stood for and was the leader of many civil right movements. This man is known as Martin Luther King. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. Martin Jr.’s parents were Reverend Martin Luther King, Sr. and Alberta Williams King. King Jr.’s father and his grandfather were both ministers and Martin’s mother was a school teacher. He had a sister by the name of Christine and a brother by the name of Alfred. His mother

Civil Rights- noun: the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality. Nelson Mandela, Harriet Tubman, and Patrisse Cullors all share one common trait: civil rights and protecting the freedom of others. Nelson Mandela fought for freedom against the apartheid in South Africa, and was a philanthropist who served as President in South Africa. Harriet Tubman was abolitionist, armed scout and spy, who helped hundreds of slaves escape through the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. Patrisse Cullors is an activist and artist who co-founded of Black Lives Matter, an organization which campaigns against violence and systematic racial discrimination against black people. All of these strong-willed individuals enacted change

Societal injustice is an ongoing issue that is debated frequently. Specifically, many argue different means of ameliorating societal injustice. The remarkable and influential advocate of the Civil Rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, addressed the injustices pertaining to his time period in the mid 1950s and advocated nonviolence as an approach to acquire the equality that society was lacking. Dr. King practiced what he preached and gained an innumerable amount of followers. He was ultimately successful because of his use of nonviolence. Through boycotting, sit-ins, and marches, Dr. King achieved the high regard he has today. Furthermore, Cesar Chavez, labor union organizer and civil rights leader, published an article, “He shows us the way”, on the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King to recognize the success Dr. King’s accomplishments and further support pacifism. Chavez annihilates all other options, applies rhetorical ethos, logos, and pathos to persuade readers that nonviolent resistance is an unparalleled strategy to achieve civil rights.

King and by doing so, won the support of 75% blacks. King urged for Kennedy

“We are not makers of history, we are made by history”- Martin Luther King Jr.

May 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as the first black president of South Africa. He held this post for five years. During his presidency the country moved away from minority rule and apartheid, he earned the respect throughout the world for the work on conflict resolution both within the country and internationally. Mandela spent one-third of his live as a state criminal in prison because of the political views, according to which the black population of South Africa should have the same rights as white population. It’s the same of Gandhi to the congress to the freedom. On my conclusion this are really good for this important people to get recognized on his country and be a better of one nation, the sacrifice of this person needs to be recognized and the Nobel prize it’s the all of the needed, that it’s my conclusion of this paragraph of the important people and they what do for his nation. The freedom for

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world,” said Indian civil rights leader Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi, along with Mother Jones and Melba Pattillo Beals wanted equality. Gandhi’s mission was to cease color prejudice, Mother Jones’s mission was to achieve child labor rights and Melba’s mission was to make integration possible. These three individuals fought courageously for equal human rights because they wanted to see a difference in the world.

He was born on July 18th, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa. His real name is Rolihlahla Mandela but he got the name Nelson from his teacher where he attended primary school and her name was Miss. Mdingane. She gave him that name because it was a custom to give the children “Christian” names. At only the age of 12, Nelsons father passed away. His father, Nkosi Mphakanyiswa Gadla Mandela was the principal counselor reporting to Jongintaba Dalindyebo, the King of the Thembu people. They were a group that spoke Xhosa in South Africa. I truly believe Nelson got his wisdom from his father. He received his Junior Certificate at Clarkebury Boarding Institute, and then applied and began studying for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University College of Fort Hare. He did not successfully complete his studies at that time because he got expelled for protesting about the apartheid going on in South Africa. When the King found out that he got expelled, he was so mad that he said if he didn’t go back to Fort Hare and
