“It’ll be ballots or it’ll be bullets. It’ll be liberty, or it will be death.” Malcolm X delivered “The Ballot or the Bullet,” one of the most inspiring and empowering speeches to ever be spoken on American soil, on April 3, 1964. Two thousand people, including his friends as well as his enemies, came to watch the black civil rights activist speak about black nationalism during the election year. He stressed individual uplift, moral reform, and entrepreneurship. He used this speech as a call to

Rhetorical Analysis: “The Ballot or the Bullet” by Malcolm X The 1960s were a tumultuous time in American history, where many Americans were rejecting the status quo, and advocating for the advancement of their rights.

Malcolm X made a speech in Cleveland, Ohio, called The Ballot or the Bullet, about this major issue and what needs to be done to ratify this issue. At this point in history African Americans have tried numerous times for a non-violent protest-- nothing has worked for them. Through his use of emotional appeals, ethical appeals, and allusion, he persuades the audience that African Americans that

Suit Up would surpass the title of Bullets or Ballots--a universe where the entire race of men (except the average police officer) wears a suit and a fedora. This creates the complication of discerning the good guys from the bad. The men appear quite clonish (a word that I've created, meaning the propensity to be a clone), because each man repeatedly appears similar to the next man.
