Next, write a post comparing and contrasting the views of the two leaders. Did they believe that peaceful coexistence between whites and blacks was possible? Did they agree that peaceful protest was enough to bring about change? Did you see any similarities between their speeches? What were some of the major differences that you found within them?
Then respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts, comparing and contrasting the ideas that they presented about these speeches with your own analysis, being sure to use specific evidence from within them to support your ideas.
