2. Instructions: You have 30 minutes to write
Instructions: You have 30 minutes to write. This assignment is similar to Blackfish, except shorter.
Answer this prompt using the graphic organizer to help you.
How does Faubus employ ethos, logos, and pathos to build his message? First determine if the speech is persuasion or argumentation.
His message (more or less) is that integration cannot be forced onto the people by the federal government. It is a state and local issue and there must be time given to see which law will be upheld by the courts – the State or the Federal government. Because the law is being questioned, unrest and disorder are imminent; therefore peace and order must be kept by any means necessary to prevent even worse disaster.

5. Background notes you need.
The Birmingham Campaign began on April 3, 1963, with coordinated marches and sit-ins against racism and racial segregation in Birmingham, Alabama.
The non-violent campaign was coordinated by Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights and King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
On April 10, Circuit Judge W. A. Jenkins issued a blanket injunction against "parading, demonstrating, boycotting, trespassing and picketing".

6. Leaders of the campaign announced they would disobey the ruling.
On April 12, King was roughly arrested with Ralph Abernathy, Fred Shuttlesworth and other marchers—while thousands of African Americans dressed for Good Friday looked on.
King met with unusually harsh conditions in the Birmingham jail. An ally smuggled in a newspaper from April 12, which contained "A Call for Unity" a statement made by eight white Alabama clergymen against King and his methods.
The “A Call to Unity" clergymen agreed that social injustices existed but argued that the battle against racial segregation should be fought solely in the courts, not in the streets. They criticized Martin Luther King, calling him an “outsider” who causes trouble in the streets of Birmingham

7. “A Call for Unity” provoked King and he began to write a response on the newspaper itself.
King writes in Why We Can't Wait: “Begun on the margins of the newspaper in which the statement appeared while I was in jail, the letter was continued on scraps of writing paper supplied by a friendly black trustee, and concluded on a pad my attorneys were eventually permitted to leave me.”
Have students read “A Call For Unity” using PALS and answer the five analysis questions on the back.

8. Reading “A Call For Unity”
The nine criticisms which King will address are labeled in your copy of the newspaper letter.
Read carefully and then answer the five questions which follow the text.
Turn those questions in. You should answer them on a separate piece of paper. They will be graded.
