I choose Core and nation of Islam

The fundamental similarity between the two groups is that the all fought for an end to racism and inequality. however there was fundamental difference in their approach and strategy.
the nation of Islam viewed the white man as a devil, and advocated for a militant approach to racism and the actions of racist group such as Klan. The most prominent leader of the nation of Islam movement was Malcolm X, who presumably converted to Islam,took over the ideal of the group but broke from it later.The movement also called for separation of races.

On the other hand,the Core, also known as Congress of racial equality advocated for peaceful protests,and integration of all races. some of the prominent members were James L. Farmer, Jr., George Houser, James R. Robinson, Homer Jack, and Joe Guinn.
