racial segregation in the American South (Altman 60). “King echoed the message of Gandhi and Thoreau: that nonviolent resistance is fighting back.

In Plato's, The Republic, Book X, he indicates how the universe of experience is flawed, using imitation and deception and how situating ourselves toward the domain of forms prompts an entire comprehension. Plato viewed art as an imitation of nature or human life and actions. He suggests that anyone can imitate through a use of a mirror, which is reflective.

These ideals consequently leave a lasting and painful impression on those that do not fit this criteria. Toni Morrison, an African American female novelist who experienced these hindrances firsthand, brings to light the struggle African Americans face daily to overcome these systematic barriers in her works.

For example, looking at a mirror, one could say that they see a reflection of themselves. Nevertheless, another could say that they see the opposite of themselves.
