    In a pamphlet given out prior to the March, stated reasons and goals for the March included the denial of freedom to “millions of Negroes,” the demand for a “national minimum wage,” and “the passage of effective civil rights legislation which will guarantee to all decent housing, access to public accommodations, adequate and integrated education, [and] the right to vote.” Of all these reasons, only a small few were mentioned in King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. King did capitalize on the 100th year since the Emancipation Proclamation fact that was emphasized in the preamble. He did give some mention to the “chains of discrimination” in the beginning of his speech. Similarly, at the end, he painted a visionary picture of a world that included integration as seen through some of his words “little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”…

    Aside from the obvious species differences in the characters of Animal Farm and 1984 (animals and humans), the characters of both books offer an interesting comparison. Napoleon, great leader of the animal rebellion, mirrors many of the authority figures in 1984, such as Big Brother, leader of the Party, or O’Brien, member of the privileged Inner Party. O’Brien in particular offers a good contrast to Napoleon. Both the pig and the man share the dubious characteristic of hiding behind an identity that promotes hope among the masses. O’Brien pretends to be a member of a secret resistance society, the Brotherhood, and easily fools Winston and Julia into trusting him, ultimately sealing their doom. Napoleon is less subtle, but all of rights…

    Despite common opinion, freedom is not an inherently given right. The metal of this world is recurrently forged into weapons and shackles of tyranny, oppression, and marginalization which are used to cripple the hopelessly weak so they may more obediently serve the indomitably powerful. The roars of war between freedom and slavery echo throughout the timeline of recorded human history, and two men, whose words carry the truth of light-bringers with the passion of prophets, know this theatre of conflict better than anyone. Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. gave two speeches, “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” and “I Have a Dream” respectively, which passionately and effectively rejected the ideals of racial inequality in the United…
