Stokely Carmichael’s speech, he talks about the concept of black power and how the white population has tried to destroy it. He uses logos appeals by appealing to our common sense and using examples from history to explain his point. For example, he used common sense to explain the failure of the civil rights bill. He says that the civil rights bill were for white people, to let white people understand that black people should be allowed certain rights because they are human beings as well. Furthermore, he uses ethos appeals by giving personal impressions of what happened to him when he tried to vote to convince us of the wrongdoings he has suffered due to being black. He says how he was beaten, shot at, or jailed just because he wanted to vote. Carmichael also uses the pathos appeals by explaining how the black population is tired of white supremacy. He says that black people are “tired of trying to prove things to white people” and that the black population has the right get things they need to function as human beings

In his speech he used a lot of logos which is what most people think would think the logical way thinking. Democracy is a type of government that grants people equal rights and during the 1950’s the United States was a democracy but was not implanting that type of government. In his speech Carmichael says “How can white people who are the majority -- and who are responsible for making democracy work -- make it work? They have miserably failed to this point. They have never made democracy work”. This was a great use of logos because again logos is how most people would logically think and he showed how it is not, because again the United States is a democracy and people are treated equally and in fact it is the exact
The other type of persuasive argument he used is the Pathos technique.The meanning of Pathos is to connect to a person on an emtional level. Creating emotional ties with a person is hard but if one try to connect through the same struggle that will make the person connect with you and connect to what your talking about. It might not even be a pain, but it might just saying fix roads so there's less crashes and, that person who's been in one or know so one will agree.

Logos, ethos, and pathos are essential components used in advertising. By learning to recognize logos, ethos, and pathos in advertising, we are able to understand the message and what is being portrayed. (Albert et al, 2014), suggested that Aristotle postulated that a speaker’s ability to effectively convince an audience is constructed on how well the speaker appeals to that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and pathos. These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.
In this he reaches out to all backgrounds and religions to try and unite them in the common cause. Claiming that they have all suffered in this together. And that to be aware that it is election year and that the white man will smile at you most when he needs you and look down upon you when he doesn’t. This speech resonated because I could not help but think of this year. 2016 is an election year. Yes we have come a long way but not as far as we had hoped. We are still facing the race debate. And many of the battles and obstacles that Malcom X faced then, are still being faced
In the speech he compares white man to black man and he says that we can all be kind and all come together as one. Today in the future people will still remember this speech and remember how great it was and how it really changed the future kids and everyone else. He used logos by using logical ideas about MLK and his family. He used logos towards the end of the speech because he wants us to know that no matter what the skin color of the person they should all be treated equally. “Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.” “Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the “LFBJ” to express his emotions and feelings about the segregation in the United States.

Logos, pathos, and ethos have been existing to empower and strengthen our writing. In this rhetorical analysis essay, logos, pathos, and ethos that are used in the Annual Address will be clearly identified and evaluated. The Annual Address written by Joseph Jackson discusses the issues of discrimination and racism. It was written and delivered at the 84th Annual Session of the National Baptist Movement. Unlike many others back in history, Jackson believes that actions should be taken place before any demanded result. Jackson appeals to his fellow race to take action and adds credibility to his claims by using historical examples from the past. Also, Jackson makes personal connections with his targeted audience, black people, which builds trust between the speaker and the reader. We will be examining the context of the this speech and Jackson’s perspective and claims.

Within ethos, pathos, and logos, the implication of elevated language, loaded words, and logical statements, attains a sense of credibility, assurance, and cogency.

The speech by Malcolm X that was given at the King Solomon Baptist Church, Detroit, Michigan on April 12, 1964 was a very emotional speech that was intended to motivate the African American community to vote. Malcolm X uses pathos very successfully in this speech. He believes the key to change the situation in the black community is the Negro vote. He believes the government has failed the black people and that they are a victim of the Democracy. Malcolm X believes that African Americans will gain there independence by electing an African American. He believes in gaining control of the economy will help the African Americans be prosperous and control their future. This use of logos by Malcolm X is the most important part of defending

Stokely Carmichael, the man who coined the term black power, once said, “And we 're never going to get caught up in questions about power. This country knows what power is. It knows it very well. And it knows what Black Power is cause it deprived black people of it for 400 years.” Carmichael fought endlessly for civil rights for African American people because he felt that they were not being seen and treated as human beings, as they were continuously being denied basic rights. Stokely Carmichael is a dynamic man, who was a frontrunner in the Civil Rights Movement and an inspiring trailblazer that took action everywhere he saw an opportunity.
