History Behind the Ballad"? Ok I have to right a short essay that compares/contrasts the "Ballad of Birmingham" by Dudley Randal, and "The History Behind the Ballad" by Taylor Branch. I need to reference the title of work, align details to that particular work. I should keep in mind the use of description, dialogue, and irony of each.

Can anyone help get me started? Like giving me some ideas of what to write about? I no what I want to say I'm just having trouble forming it into to words.

Thanks!
 
Acts to support humanity but rather acts to insult it in the end during its time but lost by today's measures when such ballads are celebrated.

Randall's broadside reminds the audience of what is at stake in the struggle for civil rights--no sanctuary, no respect for innocence, the potential for violent resistance not just to social change, but even to the presence, new or continued, of blacks in community with whites. There is no such thing as staying out of the struggle in order to avoid trouble. The violence touches even this woman who would keep her family out of the danger of active political protests like the Freedom March. To read, buy, have, or give the card is to participate in the struggle she could not stay out of.
