Answer:
" Meanwhile, the executioner had taken up his position on one side and raised the mace. Then, on a sign, the two assistants stepped aside. The prisoner wanted to get to his feet but, before he had time to do so, the club struck him on the left temple. There was a dull, muffled sound, the victim fell like a stricken bull, face downwards, then on the rebound turned over on his back. At this the executioner dropped his mace, pulled the knife out of his belt, cut open his throat with a single stroke and, immediately stepping on his belly, began as it were to knead the body with his feet. At each stamping of the foot, a jet of blood spurted from the condemned man's neck. "
According to a different source, this question refers to the Brown v. Board of Education decision. In this case, the court issued a unanimous decision in favor of the Brown family. This decision was written by Chief Justice Earl Warren.
I would argue that Warren's rhetoric is persuasive and authoritative. He very clearly explains the reasons why the Court reached this decision. This conveys a feeling of knowledge and clarity. The line that I find most moving is:
<em>"To separate [black children] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone."</em>
I find this line to be very powerful because it gets to the source of the problem. By explaining how black children might feel, it encourages people to rethink segregation. It also supports the idea that all people are equally valuable, regardless of their color.
