King or X.

Recently we have been discussing the civil rights movement and some of the greats of that time. Two in particular being the famous Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. We know both of them inspired great movements and could move masses of people with their words. While MLK moved people with his speeches including his "I have a Dream" speech, pushing for government change. Malcolm X wanted African Americans to be treated as though they were human, and equal. His quotes all discuss wanting to be human. Which is an easy idea for everyone to see. That is why I think Malcolm X was the better influence of the time. It is a shame though that both of these men had to die before there words could really take effect.
