In the article MIA Mass Meeting at Holt Street Babtist Church there is one main point that sticks out to me. This main point would be the huge display in community. This group of people come together to fight for what they believe in. They are all religious people who are willing to do what it takes to accomplish the goal they desire. They show that through all this they will stick together as the auther says, "let us go out with a grim and bold determination that we are going to stick together." He also says, "Unity is the great need of the hour" and much more indicating how important it is to stick together.
This group of people are religious and in this religion they do not think it is right to hurt or harm people and do what is wrong. The speaker says, "We are not afraid of what we are doing, because we are doing it within the law. And there is never a time in our American democracy that we must ever think we are wrong when we protest. We reserve that right." The speaker makes it very clear that what they are doing is not wroing or against their relion of beliefs but instead it is something they have been given the right to do. He also tells the audience, "If we are wrong, the Constitution of the United States is wrong. If we are wrong, God Almighty is wrong. If we are wrong, Jesus of Nazereth was merely a utopian dreamer that came down to Earth. If we are wrong, justice is a lie, love has no meaning." By saying these words he convinces these people they are doing no wrong, and is incuraging them to pursue their beliefs.
