Malcolm x and Martin Luther King, notorious civil rights leader, became idols to African- American culture and have an immense impact of African-Americans. During this era the movement was established to secure African Americans equal access to and opportunities for the basic privileges and rights of U.S. citizenship. African American men and women, along with whites, organized and led the movement at national and local levels. They pursued their goals through legal means, negotiations, petitions, and violent protest demonstrations. The backgrounds of both men were largely responsible for their approach to American racism and the civil right movement. Malcolm x and Martin Luther King both had different approaches; Martin Luther King Jr., the African- America Gandhi, and his supporters, possessed the non-violent ideologies. However, Malcolm x preached his revolutionary attitudes toward Whites. He encouraged Blacks to stand up and fight for their liberation. Both philosophy leaders were effective, but Martin Luther king Jr. was able to get the point across efficiently. For my sources I’ll be using: digital history, ‘Where We Are Going’ Dr Martin Luther King Jr. 1967 book, workers world Malcolm x and the global black struggle Abayomi Azikiwe, and Dr Martin Luther ‘I have a dream’ speech. Malcolm x and Martin Luther King Jr. grew up in different environments. Malcolm x came from an underprivileged home; he was self taught, however with the little school he was able to obtain greatness due to his own determination and knowledge. On the other hand, Martin Luther king was raised in a comfortable middle-class family, where his father stressed the importance of an education. Malcolm x, a Black Muslim, became a black nationalist and used violent protest to demonstrate his point. Dr King utilized a nonviolence demonstration he was also a devoted Christian. The duo had uncompromising love for their people but yet thousands of people died in
