Answer 2

Martin Luther King

Answer 3

Martin Luther KIng

Answer 4

I think Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were both great men. they were both fighting to better the lives of black people. They just took different approaches. Martin Luther King jr. is more respected by society because his ideals weren't as radical as Malcolm X and he seemed to want to mend relations with whites while Malcolm X seemed to hold the view that all whites were devils and always would be. I'd say today Martin Luther King jr's dream has not yet been realized but I hope it will be one day. We still have such a long way to go.

Answer 5

Martin Luther King made a greater impression on me; he knew the Lord and had a relationship with the lord and advocated peace. Malcom X was confusing to me in his teachings because he started his ministry with confusion about anybody not of the Muslim faith. In my humble opinion, I believe Malcom X was decieved during most of his ministry, and became aware of truth very late in his ministry and lead many thru this deception and apathy or discord with other races and religions. I do not believe he became aware of his mistake until just before his murder. Both men were great speakers and if they would have been allowed to live longer on this earth, many deceptions would have been revealed sooner to the world. Both men have made remarkable contributions to the history of the pains of being born black in America during the 20's, 30's, 40's , 50's , 60's ,70's, and 80's., and also present-day. Both men are missed.

Answer 6

Both were great men, but both seem to hog all the glory of the human rights movement. There were/are hundreds of heroes that revolutionize/d racial unity and equality.

Martin Luther King Day was once renamed Human Rights Day in a few states to celebrate all of the great men and women who were/are instrumental in the cause. After receiving criticism from other states, the name was changed back to Martin Luther King Day. Apparently many feel strongly that Martin Luther King alone should be recognized.

Answer 7

Martin Luther King won a Nobel Peace Prize and taught love and togetherness.

Answer 8

Martin Luther King Jr. without a doubt. Reverend King promoted peace and love. I think he did more for the Civil Rights movement than anyone else. Even after his death, his influence continues to today. Now-that's powerful.

Answer 9

I grew up only learning about MLK. I think that I have embodied his message. But it wasn't until I got into High school, that I really got a chance to learn about Malcolm X. Even though I do live by MLK's ways, as far as race relations. I really admire Malcolm X. I loved reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley. I wish he wasn't dead, I would have loved to see all that he would've accomplished had he been alive today.

Answer 10

MLK had a greater impression on society, and the country as a whole. For me personally I lean towards MX. X wasn't a violent man, he believed I'm gonna do to u what u've done to me type attitude to force change. He was also humble in acknowledging his faults and mistakes (disassociating himself w/ Elijah Muhammad) and forming his own Muslim without separatist views he once believed. X was a man who, once he believed in something, he gave it his all, and would never look back. Loyalty!
