Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X came from different times, where the chances for
African American men to learn to read and write were few, but they overcame. Their detailings
about how they did this gives us a peek into their struggles, and helps us to see how between
Douglass and Malcolm, the oppression had certainly decreased some. The proper use of rhetoric
is something that even experienced readers and writers struggle with, and amazingly, despite all
of their struggles Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X were able to learn to use a level of rhetoric
that I truly admire.
