1. Consider the general feeling regarding the system of slavery in the time and place of Solomon Northup's experiences. The slavery system was accepted and/or participated in by
nearly everyone, and the laws for the time supported it as well. Now consider Bass's opinion
of slavery. He felt very strongly that there was no justice in the slavery system, that no man
had any right to "own" any other man, and he was known in the area for his views as they
were very rare for that time period in Louisiana. Bass knew voicing such opinions might put
him in danger, yet he never shied away from discussions regarding slavery. His manner in
such discussions did not anger his opponent, instead almost bringing amusement. Knowing
the danger that his efforts would likely bring, why did Bass go to such lengths to aid
Solomon's rescue, in your opinion? (5 points)

please no idea for this question

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.

a lot to the other person they me out big
