All of the cases and people involved in fighting for equal rights for African Americans played an important role in the Civil Rights Movement.

By using these rhetorical elements and the two of the three types of appeals, he was able to urge Congress to pass the new voting rights legislation while involving the "motives" of the Civil Rights Movement and its people for extra support throughout his speech.
