Chief Joseph fought for equal rights in his speech to the White House in 1879, 11 years after the 14th Amendment. But as we read and discussed, equal rights were not afforded to the Native American Indians. 

The fight, however, did not stop there. Fast Forward 1960's.....

In addition to ETHOS,  PATHOS AND LOGOS, Persuasive speakers use many propaganda techniques to be more convincing. A few that we will see today in Malcom X's speech are:
1. Repetition
2. Name-Calling
3. Rhetorical Questions (sentences ending in a ? but do not really require an answer)
4.  Loaded words (words that have strong connotations)
