What exactly is freedom? Is it a figure of authority saying that you are free, or is it the actions of others to treat you that way? Today it seems that people act one way as if trying to ignore the past and suppress reality, thinking it just might go away. African Americans have been forced to suffer the indignities of false promises and disenfranchisement throughout time itself causing the rise of leaders through each generation by voicing their different opinions into one cause. With their great speeches of thunderous decree like Martin Luther King Jr. and his "I Have a Dream" (1963) or Fredrick Douglass" "Independence Day Speech at Rochester" (1852) they continued to push the envelope of hope, play to the nation's logos, and make an explicit reminder of the problems yet to be solved.

We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened."(CA 386). With the substantial differences in language archetypes, the two voice their obvious different opinions of whether or not hope will make a difference.
