MLK vs. Malcolm X

MLK and Malcolm X are different in the many ways of methodology . Martin Luther King was more effect in his way of approaching the Civil Rights Movement, the reason being being that he has a more common way of approaching it. He showed both sides of the story and looked at the situation from both point of views, which therefore makes the people want to hear about it and understand where you're coming from easier. Where as Malcolm X just said how he felt and what he thought should be changed, he was very blunt with his idea of approaches. For example, one of his quotes says “Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.” He believed you should fight back, which doesn't help with making peace. Where Martin Luther believed if someone hits you hug them, and stay strong and be happy no matter what they do or say to you. Martin Luther was more of a peaceful and civil man. People thought very highly of him and still do today, you talk about him all through out your school years and we even have a holiday for him. Where as in Malcolm X you rarely here about him, and don't acknowledge him as much. Martin Luther King had a greater impact on the Civil Rights Movement and our lives today than any other!
