Max`s Speech

Max`s speech was amazing. He wasn't trying to prove that a crime wasn't committed, but he was trying to make the court understand where Bigger is coming from. Max, being a white male from the 1920s who being a lawyer most likely made more money than most, testified for a  young African American male who was accused of killing and raping a white woman, symbolized the whites who realized that segregation was wrong. Max projected Bigger`s voice in a way that it would be hear and understood. He spoke for not only Bigger, but for all the African Americans who couldn't be heard. Max's speech was really touching, and his speech really made an impact on everyone in the court room, and Bigger.
