Question

Convert to a say mean matter

Malcolm X

“[American society] is already divided on racial lines.Gpo to Harlem. All we’re saying now is since we’re already divided, the least the government can do is let us control the areas where we live. Let the white people control theirs, let us control ours—that’s all we’re saying. If the white man can control his, and actually what he is using to control it is with white nationalism in the white communities whether they are Jews, whether they are Protestants — they still practice white nationalism. O all we’re saying to our people is to forget our religious differences. Forget all the differences that have been artificially created by the whites who have been over us, and try and work together in unity and harmony with the philosophy of black nationalism, which only means that we should control our own economy, our own politics, and our own society. Nothing is wrong with that.
And then, after we control our society, we’ll work with any segment of the white community towards building a better civilization. But we think they should control theirs and we should control ours. Don’t let us try and mix with each other because every time that mixture takes place we always find that the black man is the low man on the totem pole.”

Martin Luther King

“I say to you today, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up, live out of the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal.’ I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even in the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, weltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning, let freedom ring.,” So let freedom ring from the mighty hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. But not only that. Let freedom right from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom right from every hill and
molehill of Mississippi, from every mountainside.”

Answer 1

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. were both prominent figures in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. They had different philosophies and approaches to solving racial inequality. King promoted non-violent, direct-action efforts for complete integration and the achievement of full civil rights, while Malcolm X promoted complete separation of the races and rejected any form of integration .

Despite their differences, King had a deep affection for Malcolm X and felt that he had the great ability to put his finger on the existence and root of the problem. Malcolm X eventually began to speak more reverently of King’s viewpoints and wanted to arrange a meeting with him, but the meeting never happened due to Malcolm X’s assassination.
