Malcolm X Vs Martin Luther King

Introduction

During the late 50's and 60's, racism was a fact patent within American society. America was filled with contempt and rejection of the black man, with such contempt and supports its ultimate expression in the racist organization the Ku Klux Klan. As a result, of racial segregation, the rights of people of colour were strong mind cut by some laws, forcing them to eat in different places, sit in seats, in public transport, and even being forbidden to enrol in individual universities. A clear example of this is the famous incident suffered by Rosa Parks in Alabama, when he refused to sit in the rightful place inside the bus (Andrew, Pp. 202).

Malcolm X was defined as the "angriest Black American" and he remains one of the most emblematic figures of the Black struggle against oppression and racism.
