Malcom X

Martin Luther King and Malcom X supported two different types of action to reach their ultimate goal.
Martin Luther King relied on peaceful means of protest such as sit-ins, marches, demonstrations and debates, whereas Malcolm X suggested people should use violence in order to obtain what they wanted, that is to say freedom, equality and justice.
Martin Luther was convinced that his non-violent struggle would have a positive outcome, although it was long and painful.
Unlike Martin Luther King, Malcom X thought marches and demonstrations were totally useless. He disapproved of his way of fighting. He believed in action and nationalism.
