Martin Luther King and Malcolm X helped raise the awareness of all people to the real truth of segregation, which "white" Americans, having never experienced it themselves, was really naive about such things. MLK did it in a more peaceful manner than Malcolm X, who was a bit more confrontational. Both men drew huge followings of people who marched and spoke out in protest of the treatment of "black" Americans.

Mainly by protesting, and giving a bunch of speeches.
Malcolm X was more of a cult figure, though. Martin Luther King had some support among liberal whites, which he managed to consolidate. I would describe him as a black version of Bill Clinton. The fact that he got assassinated helped spread his influence, of course.

The guy you need to speak to is the Honourable Reverend Mr Jesse Jackson, who is right now on a six [6] day tour of UK, bringing his message of hope and freedom to black communities as well as the nation as a whole.
You had better speak with him. He was a friend and confidant of The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King and also his chosen protege - [successor].
