Answer:

Both hope to draw empathy of the readers to stop the injustice by humanizing the victims

Step-by-step explanation:

For many years, Uncle Tom had worked as a preacher, journalist as well as a teacher. He aimed to eliminate racial discrimination and bring acceptance by the whites. However nothing did work, he then turned into writing a pleading letter to the whites for approval due to a furious attack that had occurred to the blacks

While Ida B was discouraged and about to give up on the fight, she was appointed a civic leader of the African American women suffrage. This gave the strength to continue fighting against the freedom of the African. She even later ran for a senator position however she was defeated. Regardless their aim was to fight for the injustices of a human being by the whites .
