America was established on Thomas Jefferson’s idea of unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.…

Education and healthcare are two of the major factors in the African American community. African American children are not receiving quality healthcare and education because of the location of each. In the late 1950s education was not valued by the government for African Americans because of segregation.

In a speech that even King knew would go down in history as the “greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation” before he began, a movement was sparked by a powerful speaker, causing actions beyond what he ever imagined.

The destruction is the way they have mistreated the people of Africa, as well as changing the way nature used to be, from the peaceful harmonious nature to inventing more modernised technologies, making man seem more arrogant. The focus of the two poems is how man has destroyed the earth with their actions, and the poet does this by using imagery and figurative language. In Africa, Tagore…

Malcolm X’s “God’s Judgement of White America” (The Chickens Come Home to Roost) shows more of a violent approach to freedom. Both Dr. Martin…
