Famous black leaders: Martin Luther King and Malcom X

Martin Luther King

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.

TODAY IS :  Martin Luther King, Jr. DAY  in the US

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15. 
The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed on January 20, 1986. At first, some states resisted observing the holiday as such, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000.
This year : January 16
