MLK & Saturday Evening Post

"Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive." - Martin Luther King Jr.

White Americans at the time would rather ignore the problem at hand and maintain order because equal treatment for everyone did not directly effect their lives. They were perfectly content living out their days with how prejudiced the world was and how unfair it was for African Americans. Every American citizen, no matter what color their skin, is entitled to the freedoms granted to them in the U.S. constitution. Which states that all men are created equal.

Saturday Evening Post

Patrick Perry wrote the article about the Four Freedoms speech poorly. He had no paragraph transitions. To me it lacked cohesion and readability.
