Malcolm X and MLK Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Baptist minister and the leader of the civil rights movement. He faced many discriminations and became a preacher that won many worthy titles as a black man. MLK tried to explain and persuade the society in coming together in peace for the future children to be equal no matter what color of skin. MLK had a dream that both white and black men unified to have equal rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.On the other hand, Malcolm X was prisoned for his series of crime that led him to become a black muslim. He formed a organization called Afro-American Unity to fight for political rights in the lives of black men. Malcolm X tried to persuade other of non-violence, equal rights, and to stand ground and fight for what must be fought.

Martin Luther King, Jr. piously gave the speech that if we men don’t do anything about the segregation, that black men will always be treated unequally. “But 100 years later the Negro still not free”. Even if there is the Emancipation of Proclamation that lead slaves to be free there will always be segregation and animosity in the eyes of white men towards black men. This also connects to Malcolm X’s point of standing for equal rights,(“when you come to make a decision, you have to weigh all of what you’ve heard and place it where it belongs”) the main point to Malcolm X’s speech, to think for ourselves to take advantage and fight for ourselves. In fact,
“where you will find yourself fighting your own self”. another important message he was trying to explain through this is for us men to think about our decisions and perspective. He meant that black men spoke of non-violence but they “were” the ones who cause violence against each other. This is hypocritical of their decision and perspective and which is why Malcolm X was trying to persuade them to think for ourselves. MLK believed that everyone should follow the same pursuit of happiness and liberty, instead of having a

    The vastly different early backgrounds of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. had major impacts on their goal to achieve equality between all races. Martin was born and raised in a middle-class, well-educated family, in which his family provided their children with “the basic necessities of life,” and important role-models of the race for them to follow. Religion was the center of his life growing up and his parents raised him with strong values of self-worth. Throughout King’s life, he always stood his ground, encouraged nonviolence and supported passive resistance. Martin always stood out because despite having been physically attacked, he never reacted with violence.…

    Malcolm wanted a true, violent revolution.He felt that blacks were unwanted in America so they should leave and form their own nation like many other revolutions going on in the world at that time. ④ He felt there was a distinct difference between his movement and the Civil rights movement. Those in Civil rights were “house negroes” in the Negro Revolution and those under his own wing were the “field negroes” of the black movement.④ When there were slaves, some worked in the house, close to the master, and they came to love their master who fed them his dinner scraps; on the other hand, there were those out in the field who hated their master because they were beaten and got nothing but guts to eat. The Civil rights want to stay with their masters, the white man, while the black revolution knew he needed to break away, because he dare not say “our government” but rather “the government”; they had no part in it. ④ He believed a revolution was not a true revolution without bloodshed. He felt they needed to fight to gain their rights. ④ Later, X seems to become more content with staying in America. He decides that anyone who helps is good to the project; he said he was not anti-white but rather anti-exploitation, anti-degradation, and anti-oppression. No matter what, however, if faced with violence, he will return the favor. He even felt integrating schools was important to keep children from being taught the horrible ways of the day.…

    Malcolm X spoke to his audience as a plea for action against their white oppressors. He makes a strong statement of the civil rights movements , stating that “They keep you wrapped up in civil rights. And you spend so much time barking up the civil-rights tree , you don’t even know there’s a human rights tree on the same floor . When you expand the civil- rights struggle to the level of human rights , you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the UN.” (pg. 7 ) This excerpt from the speech suggests that there is a plot within the government and Malcolm feels that if they take the civil-rights issue further and expand it into a human rights issue , his listeners will succeed in banning segregation . He believes that the civil rights are in the hands of the government and Uncle Sam , and they keep the black nationalists under their restrictions and jurisdiction but natural rights are something everyone was born with .Also , he mentions that all those years , African Americans worked day and night and didn’t receive a penny , and now , the government is a puppeteer pulling their strings and controlling everything , African Americans still weren’t considered Americans , he argued “ Well, I am one who doesn’t believe in deluding myself. I’m not going to sit at your table and watch you eat , with nothing on my…

    His demanding tone can be seen in his insistence that the government deliver land. His angry and demanding tone springs from a turbulent childhood. His father’s early involvement in the Civil Rights Movement resulted in threats to the family; this caused them to uproot and move several times. At one point their family home was burned to the ground. Later Malcolm X’s father was found dead on the local trolley tracks; the death was ruled an accident, but occurred under very suspicious circumstances. His father’s death caused his mother, Louise, to have a breakdown and she was committed to a mental institution. The children were split up between foster homes and orphanages. Malcolm X fell in with a bad crowd, had several run-ins with the law, which ultimately ended with a stint in jail. One can understand his anger toward the white race which he felt was the source of all his issues. The contrasts between these two men and their speeches are many. One must examine the message, tone, and sentence structure of both speeches to truly understand just how different their approaches were to…

    Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X both had philosophy's on racial discrimination. Martin Luther King’s philosophy on violence, public education, and integration made the most sense to Americans in 1600’s, than Malcolm X’s philosophy. Martin Luther King believed in nonviolence ,because violence doesn't solve any problems and only makes problems worse. Malcolm X did not favor violence ,but believes that they can't get realization and dignity of Negroes by civil terms. Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophy is more agreeable than Malcolm X’s philosophy, because King was right, violence doesn’t solve any problems and leads nowhere. King stated ,”It multiplies evil and violence in the universe.”(King,1963). Which, shows that if they weren't fighting peacefully there was only going to be more evil and violence. King says that, ”Basic to philosophy of nonviolence is the refusal to cooperate with evil.”(King,1963). Which, for ,six months the black people denied to buy items from…

    Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” Martin Luther King Jr. gave this speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. In this speech, he states the struggles that African Americans face, due to discrimination and racial inequality in America. King held many peaceful protests concerning these issues, but no matter how peaceful they were, there was always police brutality and discrimination against them. He had hoped that all Americans, who heard the speech, would be touched by it and would take action on how poorly they were treated.…

    He feels that most Blacks do not follow the way of Dr. King, they hate what is happening to them, they want pay back… even the interviewer did not write about Dr. King's goals. Everyone have their own view on how to fight for their rights. This made me wonder what would today look if Malcolm X was still alive because he did not want the black community to forgive. He wanted us to fight back and let the “white man” know that we are humans and we have rights. Black Panthers protected the community because the police did not protect the black communities from crime.…

    In one line he said “the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of prosperity”. This meant that even though there was a great economic boom the blacks were not sharing the wealth. Instead of blacks sharing the great wealth of this time they were left out of the boat by being ineligible force retain perks that the white man had been innate to. In an truly inspiring line of his speech MLK says “the negro community must not lead to distrust all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny”. This says that not all the white men are prejudice which would be just as stereotypical as anything else done against blacks at the time. This is truly encouraging saying that blacks have been persecuted for hundreds of years and some still find ways to show some remorse toward them. In one of the most famous lines of the speech MLK says “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident:that all men are created equal”. He means that he hopes one day that all men with see each other not on the basis of skin color but by the content of the character which is perfectly expressed in “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Martin Luther king speech expresses the inequality blacks…

    With typical industry margins between 4 -7%, many restaurant companies must closely monitor costs in order to remain profitable (Nessel). Since salaries consist of the second largest cost within this industry, employee management becomes quite important. One aspect of employee management is turnover. Turnover costs for one employee are estimated to be 30 – 150% of their employee’s annual compensation (PeopleLink). Table 1.1 (See Appendix) are examples of both direct and indirect costs associated with high employee turnover.
