Malcolm X Case

The Civil Rights Movement during the 60's had an impact on black and whites. The topic of integration was the main issue. Two men in particular had the greatest influence on this situation, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. Malcolm X stood out. He was an inspirational man, to everyone not just colored. He had committed various crimes in his life but that never stopped him from becoming who he was. Malcolm X was "A dream seeker, a go-getter." Malcolm X was an inspirational leader & a religious man. Malcolm X was a very well known African-American leader in the Civil Right Movement in the 1960's other than Dr. Martin Luther King. Instead of Dr. Martin Luther King's pacifist movement, Malcolm X wanted African-American people to revolt against the whites by any means necessary.

Malcolm X took a totally different route than Martin Luther King. Malcolm X was a devoted leader. Malcolm was a devoted follower with the new surname "X." He considered "Little" a slave name and chose the "X" to signify his lost tribal name. (MalcolmX.com) Malcolm had studied the teachings of Elijah Muhammad.(NOI Leader) Muhammad taught that white society worked to keep African Americans from empowering themselves and achieving political, economic and social success. Malcolm X was on newspaper columns, radio and television. He wanted to get the message of Nation of Islam's across the United States. "Early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise." I like this because it was very inspiring and true, because if you don't speak up, how else will anyone hear you?

Malcolm X was a very well known African-American leader in the 1960's Civil Right Movement. Along with Dr. Martin Luther King, They were both African Americans trying to make a difference in the world. Malcolm X wanted African-American people to revolt against the whites. Malcolm X believed violence was the way to do everything and get across what you was fighting for. But later on in time Malcolm comes to see that his ways were wrong. And he learned to see the way Dr. King saw things was a more peaceful manner.

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King had very different viewpoints on how the issue of integration should have been handled. I loike Malcolm X and his idea that violence can lead to happiness in the black American community. Malcolm X always voiced his opinion. Malcolm X
