Compare Malcom X David Walker and Booker T
Compare and contrast Malcolm X, David Walker, and Booker T Washington

I would like to thank my entire group members and Professor Donaldson whose comments and suggestions had been very helpful to improve the quality of this final paper. I have tried for the best of my ability to incorporate in this final version, all their great ideas about the format and the content of the documents. Professor Donaldson suggested “I am going to suggest that you do a little reorganizing. First of all, you should get rid of all of the headings. (Yes, all of them.) Then you should move the biography blurbs to the beginning of each discussion of each respective author.” This idea abstracts Joseph’s and Kandice’s. Following these directions, I have removed all the headings, and the biography blurbs. I also have quoted from the required textbook, and mentioned related page numbers in parentheses. Kandice wanted “I would organize the paper in a different way and also try and tie the writers and speakers background more into their writings”. Copy and Past were the best tools to satisfy that other nice suggestion.
Once again thank you;

Malcolm X’s leadership style and his viewpoint about how the Civil Right Movement should be implemented was very similar to David Walker’s, but greatly conflicted with Booker T Washington whose ideas appealed to a completely different audience. The Civil Right Movement is the Africans- Americans movement that dominated the debates in the United Stated political sphere during the period of (1955-1968). The movement was about the fight against inequality, Americans struggles for social justice, and the racial discriminations. In order to reach their objectives, Africans Americans leaders had displayed many different ideas about how to conduct the movement. Some believed that the movement should be implemented without violence; some thought that the economic freedom was the first to be reached, while others believed that the freedom could not

    Malcolm X and Deborah Tannen developed their ideas forty years apart. “Malcolm Little” was Malcolm X’s nick name (Malcolm X 85). Born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925, Malcolm X rose from a world of street crime to become one of the most powerful and articulate African American leaders in the United States during the 1960’s (Malcolm X 85). Born in 1945 in Brooklyn was Deborah Tannen (Tannen 192). She taught in different countries, different states and many different colleges (Tannen 192). The two powerful activists were very similar and very different in many ways. They stood for separate things and each of them had two different outcomes. Malcolm X and Deborah Tannen were surprisingly alike as much as they were different.…

    “Having travelled over a considerable portion of these Unites States, and having, in the course of my travels, taken the most accurate observations of things as they exist-the result of my observations has warranted the full and unshaken conviction, that we, (coloured people of these Unites States,) are the most degraded, wretched, and abject set of beings that ever lived since the world began; and I pray God that none like us ever may live again until time shall be no more.”, said by David Walker.

    Reading the book of David Howard-Pitney’s Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and the Civil Rights Struggle of the 1950s and 1960s we can deduce the situation in the United States during the sixties. The most important leaders of the Civil Rights movements were Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. They were the representatives of the Afro-American revolt against discrimination and racism. The two leaders shared the same goal but differed in their approaches. Martin Luther King was a moderate leader, while Malcom X was considered more “radical.”…

    In technique and material, I think that no American had ever offered a more moving analysis of the racial situation of America than Fredrick Douglass did at Rochester, New York on July 5, 1852. I have noticed a lot of things about how there are so many things that people don’t think about or choose to think about. Fredrick Douglass did something that not many people would be able to do today.…

    African Americans, slave and free resisted slavery through the act of non-violent protest of abolitionists such as speeches and rallies to resist slavery when at times more extreme measures of resistance to slavery were taken in attempted to end slavery which would erupted in a violent confrontations struggle. As the slavery increased in the South; enforced by the system that the laws supported with the driving force empowered by the slave owners, slaves began to rebel repeatedly against the system where many would run away for a short period of time before capture and punished. Anti-slavery grew as both side of colored whether black or white abolitionists created movements and defied the laws to help slaves to escape from their masters. David Walker, born free as a son of a slave published a pamphlet, Walker’s Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World, where he wrote asking those of the world to search in history if any other race were ever treated differently as human beings compared to those of the blacks or Africans from the white Christians of America.…

    Before David Walker’s Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World during the 1800’s, there had not been any other type of anti-slavery documents published. Although the Appeal is directed to black slaves, its powerful moral message and indictment of white America’s hypocritical society and oppressive, brutal system of slavery is a moral message that resonates to all audiences, including whites. Walker’s Appeal calls for slaves to rebel against their masters as the means of reacquiring their humanity. Walker relies heavily upon religious values of Christianity, communicating strongly with free and enslaved blacks:…

    The distinctive quality a person has identifies them as a person in the social network. We are all different, different in our looks, different in our religions, and different in our beliefs. Scientists have proven that there are some traits which are hereditary and they don’t have anything to do with the life experiences. The other traits are those which you develop overtime due to various incidents in life. These are the learned traits and these can be eliminated with effort. With this in mind, we can now form justifications to the similarities and differences between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King; in the way they approach the problem, the type of person they are and reasons that justify that.…

    If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with all men. These words spoken by Christ can be found in Romans 12:8 that refer to living in peace with everyone. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X are both men that fought and petitioned for equality for black people. Did they both have different approaches and views on how to obtain said peace and equality? Absolutely. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in the pacifist way for reaching the level of peace that was desired by the general black community and himself. Malcolm X, on the other hand, was not as passive and didn’t believe in the nonviolent method that Dr. King did. Malcolm X believed that getting peace by any means necessary and…
