This academic essay allows students to read and analyze this canonized work about fighting for our rights. 10th - 12th Graders will love this short work and product. Check it out!

SUMMARY:

Malcolm X gave the following TV interview in 1964, at time when violence against civil rights workers had escalated. Shocking images of protestors being beaten, clubbed, and tear-gassed had become staples of daily news coverage. Across the South, white supremacists tried to squelch the growing movement with murder, rifle attacks, bombings, and arson, crimes that frequently went unpunished. As attacks increased, many African Americans grew impatient with King’s nonviolent tactics, expressing anger that chilled white listeners.

This work prompts readers/citizens to change our communities, our societies, our world by politely defying our government.

This 10th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to understand the need for standing up for our rights when we feel we are treated unjustly by our own government.
