Rhetorical Vs historical context

1.  There is a growing disillusionment within the civil rights movement which lead to the Black Power movement. Members of the Black Power movement showed discontent for the current, nonviolent methods driving the movement. On page 490, stewart states there was a "growing militancy anger, and despair within black communities and the movement" which allows a reader to see the contempt Stewart holds for current methods of achieving racial equality.

2. On page 491, the tone of the essay shifts when Stewart begins an analysis of Carmichael and how  his emotions reflected the feelings of the rest of the movement. "In many ways Carmichael was a mirror image of the young, angry, militant leaders in the students rights, peace, and counter-culture movements of the time."
