TEXT 2: Martin Luther King's speech

King writes about the injustice of a group of people. It is an injustice that affects large numbers and is a national problem. The injustice Anne wrote about was a personal injustice, contained within her family circle and affecting only her.

King is making a political point when he writes about the injustice of the persecution of black Americans. He uses it to further his career. Anne does not write about any political injustice despite suffering at the hands of the Nazis.

King writes about the physical injustices experienced by black Americans on a daily basis whilst Anne writes about the emotional injustice she suffers at the hands of her mother on a daily basis.

battered by the storms of persecution

veterans of creative suffering

unearned suffering is redemptive

sweltering with the heat of injustice

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair

This is our hope

It is what is inside that matters
