Was Wright justified to say his own speech?

I think that Wright is justified to make his speech, but in the greater sense of the world, it probably wasn’t a smart thing to do. Wright is a man of strong opinions and morals. He deeply believes in himself as an individual. The principle is telling him that when whites are around its not a good idea for him to be himself. Instead, he asks Wright to drop his own opinions in favor of a washed out prewritten speech.
Wright can stand the fact that this “bought man” is trying to force him to drop how he feels about the world, and knowing what we do about Wright, he will never be willing to do that. To do so would compromise Wright’s sense of self, and that shouldn’t be forced on anyone. I would definitely say that Wright was justified to not say the speech, and I can say that I would do the same to protect something that I truly believe in.
