This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.
Read “Curtis Aikens and the American Dream,” by Dan Rather, and “Go For It!,” by Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
Think back to the quotation "Knowledge is Power". Provide textual evidence
from both selections to prove that Curtis Aikens' experiences and Magic
Johnson's opinion support this quote.
Answer:
Aikens' experience learning to read and write as an adult, and Magic Johnson's conclusion that studying to become a professional is better than being a basketball player, both support the idea that "Knowledge is Power".
Explanation:
Aikens' story highlights how important it was for his career to finally learn how to read and write with the help of the Literacy Volunteers of America. He confesses the reason he didn´t learn sooner was that "instead of learning to read, I learned to hide the fact that I couldn´t read".
Magic Johnson defends college education as fundamental, especially for African Americans who might think that playing basketball is their best option when is not. Johnson even has a Foundation that "provides scholarships and develops community centers and technology training centers".
