In the movie, Malcolm was in a bar in Harlem where a white man approached him; the white man called Malcolm a nigger and a boy.

He knew what would happen if he stuck with it, he knew it might cost him his life but he also knew he was making history. One of Jackie Robinson's teammates, Pee Wee Reese, said "You can hate a man for many reasons. Color is not one of them." This changed the baseball game forever. 20 years after Jackie Robinson's great emerge, Muhammad Ali, had won a gold medal in the 1960s Summer Olympics at Rome. He was proud of himself, showing it off to the world, most importantly showing the black community, that anything could be done. Being proud of himself Ali had gone into a five-and-dime store but wasn't served because of his color. Ali had said to his wife, "I was young, black Cassius Marcellus Clay, who had won a gold medal for his country. I went to downtown Louisville to a five-and-dime store that had a soda fountain.

    Malcolm X Vs Dubois Research Paper

    On the last post, I agreed more with DuBois that education was the answer because it offers people of color a voice with which to firmly oppose the injustices done against them, and education is the key to ultimately gaining success. I argued that Malcolm X’s idea was more radical because of the terminology he used (“liberty or death”, stop singing and start swinging) and because I was told to believe he was a violent, pro-Black advocate. However, after the discussions in class, I changed my mind and am now at the fence. Even after reaching the end of DuBois, I am not leaning to one side in particular on deciding whose idea is more effective for racial progress in America. I think both DuBois and Malcolm X suggest some effective solutions to racial progress because education is needed to start economic stability and to understand the politics of one’s community. I think DuBois is right…
