1960s Dbq Analysis

Have you ever wondered who had the best philosophy for America in the 1960s? The civil rights movement was a fight mainly by African American citizens to have equal rights. During this movement there were some deaths because whites used violence against mainly peaceful protests. So, who had the best philosophy for America in the 1960s? A philosophy is what someone did to help a certain cause. Well, I think Martin Luther King had the better philosophy. My three reasons for that statement is because He preaches nonviolence, he was a integrationist, and that he was much more well known. I think Martin Luther King had the better philosophy because he preaches nonviolence. In Doc J Martin Luther King Jr. exclaims that ”This is the ultimate weakness of violence, It multiplies evil and violence. This means that violence doesn't stop violence, if anything violence multiplies violence. Another quote from Doc J is that ”Violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn't murder murder.” This means that violence against one group won't stop it completely. These quotes both go back to the point that Martin Luther King Jr. had a better philosophy because he preached nonviolence for every protest.
Another reason why I think Martin Luther King Jr.
had the better philosophy for america in the 1960s is that he was an integrationist. This means that he wants the two races white and black to come together. In Doc B Martin Luther King Jr. wanted and dreamed of an integrated america. This means exactly what it says, he wanted to have a united nation. In Doc D Mlk dreamed of integrated schools. This is good because young minds can learn to accept each other no matter of skin color. AS you can see these quotes are tied to the point because Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to unite everything so everyone is treated
equally. The final reason that I think Martin Luther King had the better philosophy is because he was much more well known. This is a good thing because if he is much more well known then more people will follow him making him more famous. Doc B is Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream”speech which 250,000 people attended. So yeah, this speech is one of the most well known speeches in the civil right movement and it was televised. Doc J is also a well known speech. This is true because this speech is where he told everyone he wanted for all protest to be non violent. These quotes lead up to the mail point because they are both well known speeches. Although Malcolm X did some good things in the Civil rights movement Mlk did many things that made him a better speaker and leader. If Mlk did not exist back in the 60s then who would know what america would be like today. I think the future will be bright for many african american citizens because Mlk cleared them a path to racial freedom.
