Instructions
The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips:

Address all requirements for the content.
Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording.
Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase – you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide.

The document’s author Alexander Livingston is an associate professor at Cornell University under the Department of Government. Through his position, he has researched democratic theories, social movements, and political violence. Regardless, through his publication, he assesses Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” He identifies the civil activist’s involvement in the liberal idealization of civil disobedience and how it developed in response to the white backlash against black power in the mid to late 1960s. The article further assesses how civil disobedience was challenging to manage without the possibility of undercutting the transformative integration of black communities in an equal and unified America. Overall, the article was intended to demonstrate the challenges Martin Luther experienced within his movement and the pressures from the government and white majority. From a personal perspective, Martin Luther King was able to impose change without violence through the violent attacks that were part of the civil protests. Moreover, civil disobedience is a complex yet practical approach to enforcing the public demand for change.

The researchers are accredited faculty members from Northwestern University under the Department of Psychology. According to the authors, the US is racially diverse, and currently, colorblindness and racial coexistence are not commonly practiced. However, according to the statistics they present, approximately all minority race children experience a form of racism by 12. The information is critical as the statistics worsen when addressed from an ethnic or race perspective. Nevertheless, the researchers affirm that racism is still a major social problem; Martin Luther King contributed to children’s education. Through his activism, he was able to bring historical crimes to the public contributing to the country’s historical education. In other words, the publication targets the government, public, and other educational institutions identifying that through Martin Luther’s activism. He demonstrated the notion that race is an unnecessary social divide. He promoted unity among all races resulting in a unified country. The information is relevant, indicating that Martin Luther’s actions had immense social impacts.

The researchers of the article are accredited members of the University of Connecticut’s Department of Psychology. Through their work, they demonstrated that though Martin Luther King was unable to witness his impact, he significantly contributed to creatively misadjusted the terrible realities of social injustice. In other words, the activist exploited maladjustment to repurpose the ethical point of social integrity and unity. By focusing on the approach, the researchers state that he intended to influence his audience of minority and majority races on the value of unity. Through the 1963 speech commonly known for his phrase, “I have a dream,….” Martin Luther focused on the need for the public to alter their psychological perception of society. The authors demonstrate Luther’s psychological ideologies and strategies for positively impacting the public and leading society towards a more socially just country. From a personal perspective, the notion of exploitation of cognitive-behavioral assessment by Martin Luther in helping people become aware of the social injustices was effective as its eventual result was the Civil Rights Act.

The authors of the article are faculty members from Lancaster University, and in their research, they assess the delivery of Martin Luther’s speeches and their impact on the public. The researchers investigated the paralinguistic factors, for example, the pitch, pace, and pausing patterns. The objective was to demonstrate that though he was an activist with a message, his approach employed psychological and emotional conditioning. The outcome was impactful speeches that had a definite impact on the public concerning the white community. As a leader supporting social reform, Martin Luther had to appeal to the public, and through his speech delivery, the emotion of black oppression was comprehended. Unlike other resources that will be exploited, this was selected for numerous reasons; among them is the leadership traits demonstrated. Martin Luther placed the needs of the many over his safety against white supremacists and the oppressive government. His leadership allowed numerous social organizations to rise in the 21^st century, assuming his speech delivery of a racially united nation.

August H. Nimtz is a faculty member of the University of Minnesota under the Department of Political Science and African American and African studies. In the publication, he assesses the different approaches assumed by the famous social activists of the mid-20^th century, Malcolm X and Martin Luther. Both activists had different techniques on how to implore the government for equal rights as Americans. The target of the publication is students partaking in political science. Nevertheless, by focusing on Martin Luther, he advocated for peaceful approaches to civil disobedience. According to the author, Martin Luther viewed violence for social change as both immoral and impractical. According to the assessments made by the author of Martin Luther, the use of violence never brings about lasting peace; rather, it is an intimidation tactic that has temporary effects. From a personal perspective, the author’s assessment is valid; violence was not the approach to solving social problems; rather, it creates more issues, making it impractical.

The author of the article is an activist who supports the struggles and objectives of Martin Luther in her fight against abortion. According to the author, since 2016, the country has experienced a wide resurgence of previously assumed docile organizations such as neo-Nazis. She states that Martin Luther’s dream of a united and equally treated America where the race was not a defining factor. However, with the current reappearance of racial organizations supporting white supremacy, she wonders what caused the sudden change. Though political influence has contributed to the problem, other social issues such as police brutality and discrimination against minority races have fanned the case resulting in the current divide. Overall, according to the author, America fails to accept its historical past and assumes that ignoring it and focusing on the present can solve the problem. From a personal perspective, learning from past events can allow for a more productive and united future.

Verney, K. (2017). The Debate on Black Civil Rights in America. Manchester University Press.

The publication’s author is a professor in American History and the Dean in the Faculty of Arts at Edge Hill University. In the book, he identifies that before Martin Luther supported the Civil Rights Movement, he faced numerous ethical challenges. The notion is brought about by the fact that he was a pastor seeking political and social change. He addressed the people on the value of unity publicizing the fact that American is a cultural melting pot. From a personal perspective, Martin Luther was able to employ religion in unifying the American people. The result of his actions is demonstrated in the legal regulations and support for change today, more than five decades after his death.

Holmes, D., & Miller, K. (2017). Where the Sacred and Secular Harmonize. Cascade Books.

The authors are faculty members in the Humanities division of Pepperdine University; in their publication, they identified Martin Luther and the Civil Rights Movement as among the most ambitious attempts to reconcile the democratic principles of society. As a speaker, he epitomized the need for change in morals, politics, and social issues on race and equality. The authors address the value of Martin Luther in detail, assessing his political and social influence. From a personal perspective, Martin Luther was a leader of significant effect, taking advantage of a crisis to unite a country.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the following paper Martin Luther King, Jr. will be the topic of discussion for he was a positive influential leader in the 20^th century who fought through peaceful protests to raise awareness of racism, to end racial discrimination and segregation, for civil right and social justice for all people regardless of their race.

Overview of the Issue

Three aspects of the issue that are likely to develop within this presentation are: racial equality, civil rights, and income inequality. Racial equality was nonexistent in the time of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 20^th century. However, Martin Luther King, Jr. made it a point to bring awareness to the injustices of all other races that weren’t Caucasian. King used his fight for racial equality to gain social justice for all, especially African Americans who were discriminated against during this time.

Civil rights is another aspects because African Americans at the time did not have the same rights as other races. This was espscially present in the realms of voting. Civil rights guarantees equal social opportunity and protection under the law regardless of race, religion, or other personal characterics, and during the 20^th century Martin Luther King, Jr. did ample advocationg for the civil rights of African Americans.

Lastly, income inequality is another aspect that is likely to develop within this presentation. Income inequality was a huge aspect that left African Americans and all poor persons behind financially. Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to put an end to this issue and demanded the right to gainful employment for all. Quotes from King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech will show the dreams he had for the future regarding income equality.
