MLK vs. Malcolm X Methods - SL
History Essay
- MLK
- Most effective
- Role of Whites in C.R.M.
- fights for the fact that everyone is involved
(whites and blacks), and it is all of America's
problem. This is effective because he has a
non-violent approach and leadership, so other
national leaders feel as though they can speak
with him in a more civilized manner,
contrasting to Malcolm X, who preached
"Blacks Only" and wanted violent action
- On Violence
- Least effective
- Malcolm X
- Most effective
- Social
- changing of view within a society and self view of a race
- gave the people a voice, to be outspoken and liberal
- Integration
- improve the mindset of Black
Nationalism - "we should control
our own economy, our own politics,
and our own society. Nothing is
wrong with that."
- making the public realize how
"after (Blacks) control their
society, they'll work with any
segment of the white
community towards building
a better civilization
- Least effective
- Violence
- His use of violence
throughout his speeches
as well as actions gave a
negative connotation of
what Malcolm X was
trying to achieve
- Integration
- White national leaders would not be
able to help achieve Civil Rights goals
when they would be told that Blacks
want nothing to do with them, and
Malcolm X stating that he wants Black
nationalism
- Conclusion: Both were successful but their
methods and thoughts were different. Dr King
was only searching for civil rights, Malcolm X was
fighting for human rights. I think historically
Martin Luther King probably had a greater
impact but socially Malcolm X has a greater
impact. Martin Luther King led to the changing of
laws, Malcolm X led to the changing of a view of a
society and a self view of a race. If either were
not around the world would not be the same
today.
