Leaders of the Civil Rights Movement

In Martin Luther Kings patois he speaks with such passion and determination, you can tell in his persona that he means everything he says and his hope reaches out to hatful and the route he emphases his words captures the audiences attention. He believed that every person should be equal despite their skin color. In Malcolm Xs speech he talks more(prenominal) about himself and he thought it would be topper for everyone to keep their religion to themselves. He believed that the black mickle were trapped by the discolor people.He thought of white people as the opposite and he mostly spoke negatively about them. He make jokes throughout his speech and to me he didnt sound at secure as Martin Luther. For example Martin said Violence as a fashion of achieving racial justice is both impractical and scrofulous. It is impractical because it is a go spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding i t seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. As opposed to Malcolm X, who stated in his speech There is nothing in our book, the Koran, which teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone plainly if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. Thats a good religion. Dr. Martin Luther King, younger wanted a more peaceful approach. He hoped that with sit-ins and peace line to appeal to the ideals of dignity and justice in the white people of the time.To argue them the wrong they were doing so that they would want to correct it in themselves out of their give personal honor. Malcolm X on the another(prenominal) hand believed that white people would never give up their power, at least early on in his career as a civil rights leader. He believed they would still give it up if forced to do so, and that meant through militant means. He eventually give this idea up in favor of more peaceful means after finding white Muslims who treated him and other black men as brothers and black men who treated white people as brothers as well.And with this he began to realize that they could live in peace, and so he switched to a more peaceful style in his protests in the end. Personally, I believe that Martin Luthers approach to gaining equality among people worked best. When taking a forceful approach, such as Malcolm Xs you take a risk that your enemy will not affright you but that they could perchance fight back and over power you. This could possibly be said for a peaceful approach as well but its less likely.
