Gr 9 Up-A collection of the speeches of well-known individuals who participated in or supported the American Civil Rights Movement from early pioneers through the 1960s up until today. Selections from Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, Fannie Lou Hamer, Jesse Jackson, and Nelson Mandela emphasize the power of oratory to inform, persuade, and make an impact. A foreword and introduction give an overview of the historical background for context. Information on each of the 23 speakers and where the speech was delivered precede each selection.-Janet Woodward, Garfield High School, Seattle, WA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.Book Details
