Readings: 'Letter From Birmingham Jail", 'The Ballot or the Bullet"<(provided)
Black Liberation Lecture (in the module). this is not a formal essay. the focus is more on analysis rather than structure so dont fuss over a real introductory paragraph at all, just a clear thesis. For contemporary relevance, talk about different radical sentiments expressed during BLM in 2020, compare them to Malcolm X, and in turn compare them with King's real-life strategy, a little highlighting calls in 2020 to turn away from peaceful protest.
