It reformed movements in the US aimed at abolishing racial discrimination against African Americans and restoring suffrage in Southern states. To stand up, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X was the courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans. They both had the same goals are more equal in social life and nonviolence.
Martin Luther was one of American clergyman, activist one of prominent leaders in the African-American civil rights movement. He became a civil rights activist as his early ages. He was the most important voice which worked for equal rights for all. He was famous for using nonviolent resistance to overcome injustice, and he never got tired of trying to end segregation laws.

Whether in life or in business, endure in patient always get pay off, just like: “The Ministers of Chicago under SCLC’s …show more content…
operation Breadbasket have increased the income of the Negro community by more than two million dollars annually… This is nonviolence at its peak of power, when it cuts into the profit margin o a business in order to bring about a more just distribution of jobs and opportunities for Negron wage earners and consumers.” With speech “I have a dream” in document B, MLK delivered on August 28, 1963, was a defining moment of the American civil rights movement.
He spoke of his desire for a future where Black and White, among others, would coexist harmoniously as equals. At the same time, he also wanted “…Negros and Whites study side by side in the socially healing context of the classroom…” from “our god is marching on” in document D. Which he meant if kids could get alone while they still
young then the social in later on might chance in another good different ways. Education was a much better way to help African Americans civil right movement to move up one more step. In document J, the speech “… violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder… It doesn’t solve any problems.” was trying get people understand that the hatred can never get clear off if no one wants to try to clean it. Violence was vicious cycle, and impractical.
Similarly, Malcolm X was an African American Muslim minister, public speaker, and human rights activist. He was a man who indicted White Americas in the harshest terms for its crimes against Black Americans. He spoke up for his nationality to preaching racism and nonviolence. In many opinions, people said that he is great leader in public, a segregationist, a separatist. Like in document G he said “… we have to learn how to own and operate the businesses of our community and develop the into some type of industry that will enable us to create employment for the people of our community so that they won’t have to constantly be involved in picketing and boycotting other people in other communities in order to get a job.” His wishes were to African Americans will have their own business, independent from White, and spend money in their own communities. And in the document C, he also wanted African Americans go back to their villages and start their own, separately with White. With Malcolm X, education is a key, a passport to the future, but he was not agreeing with integrated school run by White. In document E, “…will liberate the minds of our children from the vicious lies and distortions that are fed to us from the cradle to keep is mentally enslaved.” it was an example. He also wanted the high quality all black schools. “I don’t favor violence… I believe we should protect ourselves by any means necessary when we are attacked by racists.” It was in document K. Malcolm X tried to prove that he do not like violence, but if that was necessary and to defense themselves. There also said only Blacks were asked to be nonviolence, and the problems were not really being solved. “…why not just go in and take the criminals, who are responsible for keeping the masses out, and take them down off their posts and then open the doors to everybody.”
In Martin Luther King’s infamous “I have a dream” speech, he wanted the American population to see each other as equals and not as “Black and White.” He wanted children to learn and play in the same classrooms. He also wanted working adults as one class and to earn the same benefits and wages. He worked hard to demote segregation in public places and domains.
Many people, with many different opinions, still could not decipher whose philosophy made the most sense for Americans. In today’s current social environment thanks to the teachings and philosophy of DR Martin Luther King, segregation is no longer an issue or a nightmare to African Americans. With his assassination, it further promoted his cause for equality for everyone. In the months of February, also known as black history month, we remember all that he has done for this great society we call America.
