As a whole the African American Community is seen as this negative thing, but I believe to change this the 4 of many things that can be learned to change everything is writing skills, public speaking skills, teaching, and advertising.This can be used to overcome our oppression because our oppressors are the main people in these roles, and they're spreading lies. We're the only ones experiencing the actual good going on in our community, and for our people to know how to do these four things will help shine light on what really goes on. Most of our people lack the proper knowledge needed to know what is right or wrong though. Most people look up to the villains, and not the heroes, so they're doing wrongs thinking it's fine. This would help us overcome our oppressors because it will help shine on light on what we're capable of.

It is important important for minorities to utlize good writing skills, public speaking skillls, teaching and advertising because minorities were not allowed to receive an education while in slavery. They did not have the right to education. Slaves were considered to be less that the other races.

Fredrick Douglas used his encouraging words as a tool. He was a slave but he after he came out of being a slave he wrote three autobiographies. Not only in his Autobiographies did he used encouraging words he talked about his life. Fredrick talked about his experience and how he struggled as being a slave. Also he talked about all the things he had went through. You can tell that he wanted to inspire others why else would he write those auntobiographies ?

It is important for minorities to utilize good writing skills, public speaking skills, teaching and advertising because minorities could not receive an education while in slavery. Fredrick Douglass taught him self even though it was illegal for slaves to learn to read and write. He taught other slaves as well to read and write even though it was not allowed. He felt that it was extremely important for slaves to know how to have an education even if it was outlawed. Showing that even though we were spaces at one point slaves we rose above the injustices and stereotypes of black people and became extremely well educated.

Ida B Wells was one of the amazing and inspiring anti-lynching campaigner in the United States.Ida took most of her time to raise national awareness about the unpunished murders.In 1909, Wells had a powerful ally called the NAACP to show up at the speech she did in New York.Due to the lynching record, it gained attraction to the study of Americans.'Midnight Riders' was spreading terror from beating, shooting and killing African Americans from trying to vote.

It is important for minorities to utilize writing skills because it opens up a new network passageway to expand and explore the culture they are in, and also use the system that is put against minorities against the oppressor themselves. If you have great writing skills; your comprehension and vocabulary expands vastly.

Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in 1818 in Talbot County, Maryland, and is famous for intellectuals he wrote. Douglass advised presidents and lectured to thousands of people on women’s rights and Irish home rule. Douglass always used his writings to declare a point or make something known. Douglass wrote multiple autobiographies about his experience in slavery and his life after the Civil War. He also spoke strong among blacks and really covered how they were treated during slavery. To escape slavery Frederick Douglass disguised as a free black sailor to really get away. Being free from slavery opened many doors for Douglass to take his journalism really far. Now that he was free he was able to publish and write his articles more adequately. Douglass’s main reason of writing was to bring slavery and diversity to an end. He established and participated in movements to help his purpose be relevant and bring slavery and diversity to an end. Douglass saw America strong in diversity and free of discrimination. He was mainly known for being an abolitionist, human rights and women’s rights activist, orator, author, journalist, publisher, and social reformer. But, in all Frederick Douglass used journalism to get things that were going on and what he had been through out to the public. Mainly slavery, but sadly Douglass died on February 20th,1895. With a legacy behind his name of the work he did to bring slavery and diversity to an end in the United States of America.

Ida B Wells Lynch Law shows how cruel a white person was to a black person. An African American person can be seen as a criminal and white people would just kill us off with no problem. “This law continues in force to-day in some of the oldest states of the Union, where courts of justice have long been established, whose laws are executed by white Americans”. This was a difficult time for African Americans because they had a hate crime against them. White people can have the right to kill any and every black person they see. Yet when a black person kills off a white person in maybe self-defense they get killed.

It’s important for minorities to utilize writing skills, public speaking skills, teaching, and advertising to overcome their oppression because first off, writing is the primary basis of communication, record keeping and history. Second, public speaking is the key to having a functioning society, without it everything would be nearly impossible. Thirdly, teaching and advertising is a important mechanism in the society because without it we wouldn’t be able to carry on information and the significance to the next generation.

It is important for minorities to utilize writing skills because every minority that works or go to school will always be taking notes in class or during a session. It will also help minorities when they start writing or typing essays for school and writing emails, memos, letters, and reports. To do these it requires good writing skills and the importance of this is communication, so that you can be able to communicate with your workers and piers adequately. Not only is it important to utilize writing skills but it’s also important for minorities to utilize public speaking skills. This is important because it also benefits minorities by helping them speak more clearly and form connections. If someone is giving a speech and they pronounce something wrong that could be very humiliating and could show lack of grammar skills and ect. It will also benefit minorities to present very well and get good credits.

It is important for minorities to utilize writing skills, public speaking skills, teaching, and advertising to overcome their oppression because instead of giving up on everything they can be focusing on improving these skills. It is important to utilize writing skills because you need to know how I write and speak fluently to keep a decent job. Though public speaking is hard , it's important to build your confidence because you never know what opportunities will come your way.
