You Are the African American President of Your Student Union

Essay

You are the African American president of your student union at a large university. In "response" to a speaker about the history of the Black Power movement, a student organization called the First Amendment Society wants to invite a guest speaker who advocates white supremacy on the same night. The college president claims to understand your position, but tells you that you either need to cancel both speeches or let them both proceed. Use an ethics of care argument to convince the president that the Black Power speech should proceed. Then use a utilitarian argument. Finally convince the president that your argument is not egoistic or relative.
