Dr. Martian Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were both very intellectual men. Both were outspoken and wanted justice to be served. Yes, both wanted justice to be served, but in different ways. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were two people with totally different up-bringing. King was brought up by a wealthy family, whom was very educated, and had a great chance at life. Malcolm X was brought up very poor. He had to learn to defend himself against racist white children. He was taken from his father, whom was later found dead. His father was murdered by a white mob. His mother became mentally ill so he was sent to a foster home.…
To be self reliant and always see the good in others. They also believed, that nature was very important. I want to talk about how their ideas compare. MLK Jr. believed in many things, such that people should have the right to be equal, free, and the same rights as anyone else. MLK Jr. goal was to desegregate America and change the laws to were it was illegal to do so.…

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. both wanted to end the mistreatment of African Americans.…
First of all, both men spoke of freedom. In Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech he brought to the attention of his audience that it had been 100 years since the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law, freeing all American slaves, yet “the Negro still is not free.” He quoted the Declaration of Independence that stated all men were created equal and guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet in the United States, the African…
David Walker and Frederick Douglas’ contrasting approach to the oppressive epoch of the antebellum South compare favorably to that of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Both men were passionate oppressive on the issue however both had different takes on how the issue should have been addressed and ultimately resolved. David Walker’s approach compares to that of Malcolm X in that both men were extremely passionate in what they believed to be right and just and went about addressing those particular issues in more of a radical, risqué kind of way. Whereas Frederick Douglas’ approach compared to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in that both individuals matched the kind of passion on an issue that Malcolm X and David Walker shared, they just felt a situation no matter how unjust, should be organized and conducted in a more conservative manner. Perhaps the most key difference between both men is that David Walker was an advocate for the use of violence unlike his counterpart Frederick Douglas.…
Martin Luther King was a civil rights leader for African-Americans as stated in the previous paragraph. While Chris was a rebel that wanted to go against the norm such going into Alaska and live off the land because only a handful of people did this and it wasn’t normal at that time. Also, Martin Luther King had a good cause for his actions which was trying to get African-Americans rights because they have been discriminated against. Martin Luther King went out of his way for the benefit of others and change the views of African-Americans. While on the other hand Chris went against the norm for his own personal benefit, not for others and it worked out for him for a little bit but his ignorance cost him his life. Also Martin Luther King had a plan which was to take peaceful protests and not to cause any harm to anybody. While on the other hand Chris didn’t really have a plan and he was unprepared which was also a big cause on why he died they way he did because Chris only had a rifle, some ammunition, rice, a small cook stove and numerous amounts of books (Krakauer P. 5) Only those few items aren’t enough to survive in Alaska and because of him being unprepared it led to his downfall and…
Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X’s understandings of racial inequality and their probable solutions, I believe they held conflicting views on resolutions for racial inequality based on their attitudes toward Whites. Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for the integration of African Americans and Whites, while Malcolm X advocated for the separation of the two races. I believe their viewpoints concerning the previous statement influenced their solution to end the problem of racial…

The background and different atmosphere that the two men grew up in can also be counted as factors that affected their chosen approach towards the Civil Right Movement. Malcolm held fierce arguments about how he desperately wanted all African American to one day achieve equal rights among the White American, without any harassment or racism against them. Martin in contrast remained idealistic and didn’t blame anybody for the discrimination, keeping a non-violent attitude throughout the campaigns and protests.…
During the civil rights movement era, two significant African- American leaders were at the fore front of the battle. The great El Hajj Malik El- Shabazz also known as Malcom X, and the well-respected Martin Luther King Jr. Meanwhile, two different individuals, but yet shared the same belief, which was the liberation of African- Americans from white oppression in America. The Civil Rights era brought many changes for Africans living in the United States. Both were religious leaders, Malcom a Muslim, and King a Christian, regardless both were devoted family man. Both men went to great length to provide a better future for their people of African descent, sadly, both shared the same fate and were assassinated mainly because of their desire of…
was an activist, preacher and a civil rights leader. Though, during his time in the Birmingham jail he was being categorized as an extremist. He quotes Abraham Lincoln in his letter by writing “And Abraham Lincoln: This nation cannot survive half slave and half free” (p.826). He is trying to explain that isn’t Abraham Lincoln amongst others “extremist” because they are fighting for something they believe in whether it is love, Christian gospel, or equality. Lincoln was our 16th President had led our country through the Civil War. Lincoln also wanted equal rights for African Americans. So King fought hard for African American rights even though he was persecuted and Lincoln led us through a war and abolished slavery. Lincoln states his Second Inaugural Speech “Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease” (p. 814). Lincoln wanted to build a strong nation after that.…
Almost everyone we meet will have different stances on various subjects. We were all blessed with the ability to think for ourselves and decide what we agree with. Often, this can cause conflict between two parties because their views are so drastically opposite. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached about equality and the desire for peaceful protest. Malcolm X promoted black supremacy and rejected the idea of integration. While Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X agreed that black people should not be treated as lower class citizens, they were different when it came to continuing segregation because of class rank and the backgrounds they came from.…
