The seminal texts of the Civil Rights Movement (speeches, photos, documents, narratives) are some of the most important in American letters, and they clearly show how writers effectively employ the devices and strategies of rhetoric. But why this unit? Students in America, of all races and ethnicities, must read, research, and discuss these primary texts to understand why the discussion of race issues is currently a struggle for all Americans. In this unit, students examine historical documents and photographs through the Library of Congress website to get the full story, not only what happened to African Americans between 1840 and 1968, but their reactions to those events. AP Language students will close read these texts within historical context, analyze the rhetorical purpose, and attempt to use some of the same strategies in their own rhetorical analysis essays.
