The Speech On African American Church

During the years of slavery in America, slave associations were of great concern to slave owners. Many members of white society saw Black religious meetings as a threat to white existence. Despite this, slaves relied heavily on the churches, as they offered a kind of therapy for them, and as the slaves retained their faith in God, they found protection within their churches. Although the slaves practiced their religion, the white community did not always accept the slaves as Christians. An unknown slave said, “The white folks would come in when the colored people would have prayer meeting, and whip every one of them. Most of them thought that when colored people were praying it was against them.” The Church has long been the center of Black communities, and it has established itself as a great source of religious enrichment and secular development for African

Racism has always been a major problem in America. However, it was known to be the most problematic in the late 1950s. On August 28 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his infamous speech “I Have a Dream” to America. His dream highlighted the injustices of segregation and discrimination of African Americans that took place in this nation every single day. Dr. King inspired thousands despite the color of their skin, to take a stance against racism, with his powerful way with words. In his speech MLK efficaciously uses, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos by using allusions, developing credibility, in his speech to persuade all Americans to be aware of the problems with racism.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an African American Leader During the Civil Rights Movement. Mr.King was also a pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968 at the age of 39. He had 4 kids and a wife named Coretta Scott King. King was most important during the Civil Rights Movement. He was a very effective Civil Rights leader. He has many many speeches during his lifetime. His last words in public were I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!"

Stokely Carmichael gave his most famous speech on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley in 1966. His speech, “Black Power,” addresses the issue of black racism in America and gives strategies for advancing black civil rights. His use of ethos, logos, and pathos is successful in getting the audience to engage and connect with his speech.

Martin Luther King Jr., is one of the most recognized, if not the greatest civil rights activist in this century. He has written papers and given speeches on the civil rights movement, but one piece stands out as one of his best writings. “Letter from Birmingham” was an intriguing letter written by King in jail in the city of Birmingham, Alabama. He was responding to a letter written by eight Alabama Clergyman that was published in a Birmingham Alabama newspaper in 1963 regarding the demonstrations that were occurring to stop segregation. The intended audience for this letter was of course the eight clergymen, but he also had a wider audience in mind because instead of

Dr. Martin Luther King’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C on August 28, 1963. The speech is one in which has gained much recognition over the years and virtually won Dr. King the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent approach towards racism. Mahatma Gandhi was one of King’s prominent inspirations for his nonviolent movement. Gandhi, decades before Dr. King, practiced non-violence acts and civil disobedience. The will and strength that Gandhi possessed while advocating for peace and non-violence during the terrible events that had taken place in India moved Dr. King to find the path he had to take during his own strides to create a better America, primarily for African Americans. Although

On Monday, January 18th we commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Annually, we pause to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King, Jr. It is also a time for our country to reflect on what his compelling message meant and still means to our country. He was a champion of racial justice and equality.

preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, (3) He met the needs of people, (4) He made disciples through the power of the Spirit, and (5) He gave His life as a sacrifice. These are the keys to true biblical ministry.

For this assignment, I was tasked with researching and discussing the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (AMEZC). Being raised attending and participating in church, and later becoming a Minister in the African Methodist Episcopal denomination, I found it interesting to research the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (AMEZC). I was interested in seeing the differences. In this paper, I will share the researched information regarding its founding, polity, dates, places, etc. I will also share its demographics, such as number of members, number of churches, number of schools, colleges, seminaries, and include significant figures as well.

Historically, the Black church has been a place that has inspired soulful expression. During slavery, it was the only place that had minimal or no supervision by white, slave masters. The church and its tenets stood as both a spiritual and physical manifestation of the hopes and dreams of a people who desired to be released from their bondage. The theological views embraced by the African diaspora in the church were inexorably linked with their belief that God would punish their oppressors and reward the righteous in this life or the next.

John B. Vason, who was a local barber and a philanthropist, led a group of Blacks who met at Pittsburg’s African Church on January 1832.They. The purpose for their motives and plans was for blacks to be educated because it was a gateway to be equality. They state not allowing blacks to be educated causes “ the debase the mind, and subject it votaries to the lowest vice”(150). In addition, not being educated causes blacks to be degraded and put in bondage in the United States. They state that blacks are equally intellectual and “susceptible to improvement” as the white man. Furthermore, the state those blacks should have the right to purchase “books and periodicals”, they should have the right to raise money, to purchase ground, and a suitable

I want you to know your opinions are a refreshing point of view. I want you before you continue reading, I am white and very conservative, but not a racist or prejudice by any means. I think the awareness you are trying to bring is good and I'm sorry for the trouble you are being given. The threats and negativity come from the insecure, guilt-ridden and lazy, regardless of race. Thank you for standing up. Of course, every good comes with opinions. You have so many likes, followers and supporters. At the risk if overstepping, I am offering a suggestion. You are successfully bring the Black movement controversy from a different point of view. What happened a little over a week ago is an injustice to the American people. Now that the group is spending, maybe consider changing the name. I see for as much support you are giving, Beyoncé is benefitting financially from the attention. I'm not certain if this is a valid point, but the group name could pull away from the objective. Just a suggestion, I'm sorry for offending you, Mr. Harrison, and any of your followers. It's good to see those speak out. The young lives that will be stepping up to run our country and continue to mold our society, need to see and understand all sides of the issues. As I pointed out, I am white. Should I come forward and speak out strongly about these tense issues I believe would create larger issues. The more your (and my) opinions finally are supported publicly, the more confident will become to step up.

Dr. Martin Luther King explained in the letter the purpose the protest demonstration was to create tension that would force the white power in Birmingham to engage in a good discussions and negotiation. He mentioned in any nonviolent campaign there are four steps, and he went through all this steps, but there were no answers because Birmingham is probably the most segregated City in the U.S.A. And he stated negotiating with reverend Fred Shuttlesworth and the leaders of Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights to take away all humiliating racial signs from the stores. The negotiation was not successfully because the signs that were removed and returned back. Dr. King invoked to the Clergymen the reason of the nonviolent direct action was

Barack Obama and his speech, “Remarks to the NAACP” is a nicely put together speech about health, education, and racial equality. While at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples’ one hundredth anniversary, President Obama uses different sections of his speech to further his argument. He makes a lot of points supporting his argument like how we should get a good education and keep going to school, how racial equality plays a role in everyday life, and how health care and insurance are very important.

In the October 1966 speech given by Stokely Carmichael, we are faced with a variety of terms involving racism and racist remarks. Just the year prior to this speech “blacks” had earned the right to vote on national ballots. The speech was given at the University of California Berkeley. Stokely Carmichael was born on June 29th, 1941, and he moved to the United States of America in 1951. This means at the time of his speech he was 25 years old. He was a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) later called the Student National Coordinating Committee. The significance of Mr. Carmichael giving the speech at the University of California Berkley was he was talking to the “youth” of the United States
