Lab Exercise:They Say/I Say

Stokely Carmichael and Dr. Martin Luther King were two powerful people that spoke out against racial inequality in the 1960's. Although they both played a role in the fight against racial inequality, their views varied  in the spectrum of violence and non-violence. King describes the power and effectiveness behind marching. His use of non-violence gave way to involve everyone and anyone that wanted to draw attention to the matter. Stokely contradicts King's ideals by saying non-violence is ineffective for the black man. That the black man is considered violent with no exceptions. He claims violence is necessary in order to attain recognition. Though I concede that King's method is effective, I also am in favor of Stokely's perspective because I believe violence, in drastic times like these, are necessary.
