Many charismatic leaders use theatrical gesture and language to preach or communicate their message. MLK’s speeches are famous for its rhetoric dramatization and illustration. The most famous one are the speech that is titled “I have a dream” and the speech titled “Let freedom Ring”. Many of his speeches are read in schools all over the country today, not only for their contents but also for their composition.
As mentioned before, MLK was not elected to become a leader. He grew into the leadership all by himself. The authority projected on his person was based on the personal believes on many common people, rather than rationality. Many took his incredibly strong vision and made it become their own vision. Knowing that one would share the vision with MLK could give one great comfort and security.
