(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,

"Blacks Only" and wanted violent action

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.
