MLK vs. Malcolm X

Are they similar or do they differ? Well, it's pretty much a bit of both. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X are two of the most important figures in history. Their actions and sayings will always be remembered throughout history. Now, they are both similar in the goal they wanted to achieve, which was the Civil Rights Movement; but they both differed in the way they worked and achieved it. MLK was more peaceful and non-violent and believed in "civil disobedience". Malcolm X on the other hand believed to do whatever it is necessary to achieve his goals, even if that means violence. MLK's way of approaching equality involved all different races not just one; ,meanwhile Malcolm X was very negative about most races and blamed them for the inequality. Malcolm X was more radical and believed he had the right to retaliate, which kind of made MLKS peaceful ideas more accepted by people. Who wouldnt prefer peace over violence? So therefore, I believed that MLK had a bigger effect in this world as his ideas are still viewed and remembered nowadays, and even still followed when it times of conflicts. Never forget the peaceful words .. "If cursed, do not curse back. If pushed, do not push back. If struck, do not strike back, but evidence love and goodwill at all times".
