The similarities between Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King shows Martin Luther King was the better defender of human rights. Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King have many similarities. For example, They both committed their lives to supporting civil rights and to fighting injustice. On the other hand one way they differ is that Jackie focused on baseball and making it to the world series while Martin Luther King focused on civil rights and non violent protests. Martin Luther King coordinated the Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which drew 250,000 people to march for African Americans' civil and economic rights in the nation's capital where the i have a dream speech was spoken.
For the Money or for Religion The Plymouth Plantation and Jamestown were two colonies who both established in the “new world” which is now known as the United States of America. These two colonies did have similarities in how they lived, but they also came for different reasons. One colony came for religious reasons and the other came for the business and money.
Martin Luther Kings persuasive and empowering speeches played a huge role in the Civil Rights Movements. Through his peaceful protests and captivating speeches, MLK blew the minds of his followers — they tore down racial barriers, such as ending public segregation, that had been set in stone for decades. It was public figures like him who truly shaped this movement. Another popular public figure, Cesar Chavez, was someone from a different race but had almost the same goal as Martin Luther king, to end discrimination, racism, and exploitation inside America. Though both MLK and Cesar Chavez fought for their rights using none violence tactics, members of the gay community, (LGBT), did the opposite.
Frederick Douglass wanted equality as well. If, living during the time Jesse Jackson’s speech was given he would, without a doubt in my mind be fighting for the same rights. During Fredericks time it was slavery was the big picture, so we do not know what his thoughts on these other issues would of been. I feel like in Langston Hughes poem “ The Negro Speaks of the River” is very deep, I see the similarities to Douglass in the sense of Douglass's songs his people would sing while working in the fields. In Hughes poems his meaningful of the rivers back in Africa, how to he remembers them, is like when they sing there songs.

These two men worked in different ways for the same cause; becoming a free man with equal rights. Social and Racial injustices limit the successfulness a person can have in life, however with perseverance, one can push through the barriers that are placed before them. MLK and Frederick Douglass both persevered in the following ways: education to understand the ways of the people, rallying to bring people hope for the future, and not letting the words and actions bring their fighting to an end.
The Black Panthers and Martin Luther King Jr. were two prominent figures in the civil rights movement, each advocating for racial equality and justice in their own distinct ways. While both groups sought to combat racial oppression, their approaches differed significantly. The Black Panthers, founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, embraced a more radical and militant ideology. They believed in self-defense and armed resistance against the systemic violence perpetrated against the Black community.
Elie Wiesel and Martin Luther King Jr. use a passionate, direct tone as well as repetition to convey the need for equality and a sense of urgency. Wiesel’s speech was encouraging and touching when he used words like “kingdom of night” and “desperately” to make the readers feel sympathy that could change their minds about the world. He spoke confidently and his words were direct, which was all trying to address that “we must always take sides” or the world won’t ever change. If we stay silent and take no positions, the country will have a greater chance of failing because no one is willing to make a difference. In the same way, King wants to influence the way people view and act upon the world.
The main theme of both speeches, freedom, shares both similarities and differences. Both Wiesel and King were persecuted, captured, and taken away from their freedom in isolation.

He instead talked about promises and how even “... 100 years later, the Negro is still

He creates a sense of urgency in the speech and empowers others to “rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation” and follow “the path of racial injustice.” King uses this compelling diction to try and mend the broken society, and express his hope of equality "for all of God's children '' through his faith. Elie Wiesel also declares his faith "in God and even in his creation" to give hope in stopping something like the Holocaust from ever occurring again.
Introduction Many writers and speakers have been influenced by the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a Dream" and Frederick Douglass "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July".

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s. “I have a dream” speech, and his “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, are similar because they both talk about all the difficulties that Negroes faced back then, and how they needed change and justice. They both talk about and express the inequalities they faced as Negroes. In “I have a Dream”, paragraph 3, Dr. King says, “One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.”
