DEBATE PREPARATION discussion ideas from student groups:
MLK Resiliency Unit “Letter from Birmingham Jail”
“A Call for Unity” Clergymen Newspaper Article
Propositions and Narratives from Honors Grade Ten
May 26, 2016 DEBATE PREPARATION
Martin Luther King should not have interfered with the
social problems of Alabama; he should have let local officials handle their own
social affairs. For a state or a city to
remain stable and calm, it is necessary for its activities to remain neutral in
outside problems and situations.
Decision if racial segregation is a better suited consent
that should be fought in the streets on in a court. What setting is better suited based on the
circumstances. How does each affect
both?
Violent protest is necessary when basic human rights are
being infringed upon.
It is more effective to protest on the streets than arguing
in a court where it might be unfair and biased.
MLK’s actions in Birmingham were justified by the fact that
his own people who he felt affiliated with were being mistreated and he wanted
to help their voice being heard.
MLK’s death was more beneficial to the Civil Rights Movement
because it united the Black community together for change. Non-violent peace protests led by MLK were
more effective than what the ministers suggested to do in court.
