The purpose of this essay is to promote the utilization of Kemetic principles in approaching African American public address. Although there have been recent studies on African American public address, the employment of the Kemetic philosophy is limited. Using the four overarching ethical principles of Kemetic rhetorical tradition as outlined by Karenga, this essay interrogates Joseph C. Price’s 1890 speech at the National Education Association national convention. A Kemetic analysis of Price’s speech reveals that African American public address endorses the dignity and rights of the human person, the well-being of family and community, the integrity and value of the environment, and the reciprocal solidarity and cooperation for the mutual benefit of humanity. This suggests that a Kemetic understanding of African American public address can (a) civically benefit the broader community because of its ethical foundation, (b) facilitate the recognition of contemporary ethical appeals in any given discourse, and (c) serve as an impetus for collective advancement toward a social justice–oriented world.

非裔美国人公共演讲中的Kemetic原则：对Joseph C. Price和Kemetic传统的修辞的质疑

本文的目的是促进Kemetic原则在处理非裔美国人公共演讲时的运用。尽管最近有关于非裔美国人公共广播的研究，但Kemetic哲学的应用受到限制。本文使用卡伦加（Karenga）概述的凯特姆（Kemetic）修辞传统的四大伦理原则，审问了约瑟夫·普莱斯（Joseph C. Price）1890年在美国全国教育协会全国代表大会上的讲话。对Price的演讲进行Kemetic分析后发现，非裔美国人的公共演讲支持人的尊严和权利，家庭和社区的福祉，环境的完整性和价值以及相互团结与合作，以实现人的互惠互利。人性。
