Comparing Mandela And Dr. King

Out of oppression rises resilient individuals whose voices cannot be silenced. Though the exact circumstances may vary, both Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. were empowered in the face of persecution. Both came from a place of suffering and restriction, were inspired by the brutality the observed, and attacks institutions which allowed these atrocities and others to continue. Their words, powerful and thought-provoking, will serve as pieces that will not soon be forgotten.

Comparing Martin Luther King and Malcolm X Martin Luther King and Malcolm X are to diverse individuals with two opposite personalities but both successfully succeeded in achieving freedom and bringing equality to black Americans discriminated against for many years even after the abolishment of slavery. Martin Luther King was born in 1929, in Georgia, Atlanta. Unlike the other black people in the southern states he was different he grew up in well off family who was freely educated a key factor in his personal achievements. During his younger adult years just like his father who was a preacher King decided to work in the Christian church as a Baptist Minster. He idolised Mohandas Karamchand

Thesis: Actions, beliefs, and patience are characteristics that are comparable in both the lives of Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela.

Martin Luther King Jr. and F. Douglass are similar and speak with each other by the way they peacefully “speak their mind”. Not ever, are they disrespectful or determined to turn people against whites. They are are determined for equality and freedom for all. I read King’s “Letter From the Birmingham City Jail,” and I while I read I noticed that he spoke with character just the same as Douglass. It was motivational and

Despite the two totally different philosophies Martin Luther King and Malcom X had they both changed the course of history by fighting for civil rights but in different ways. Although Martin Luther King and Malcom X didn't have the same views, they had the same goals. These two African American men stood for what they believed in but Martin Luther King being Christian never condoned, reacted, nor retaliated to violence. Whereas Malcom X believed in Muslim principles, and fighting back physically or what he said often "By any means necessary".

Martin Luther King Jr. and President Barack Obama both have similar viewpoints on how to handle problems, but their positions in society make them think differently about when violence actually needed to obtain peace. King is a firm believer that nonviolence is the best way to obtain a goal and proves so when he says that nonviolence is the answer to the biggest political question of the time, and he is clearly stating that nonviolence is the answer to the big problem of that time period, which just happens to be the injustice of discrimination. Another example of King showing that he is a firm believer in nonviolence is when he says the method for solving any conflict must not include any form of aggression, revenge, or retaliation. Here King makes a clear statement that the key to solving any problem is not to use any form of violence. On the other hand, Obama makes it apparent that he believes that violence is necessary at a certain time to maintain peace and to keep the peace. So, when Obama says that nonviolence could not have stopped Hitler's armies, he gave a clear example of a time when nonviolence would not have worked. Hitler is one of the most infamous people in the history of the world and his rampage across the world could not have been stopped by sit-ins or a few nonviolent rallies; he had to be stopped with force, or he would have continued to murder more and more innocent people until he had no one else to murder. Another example of Obama’s viewpoint is when

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were both civil rights leaders during the 1960s, but had different ideologies on how civil rights should be won. Both men were also deeply religious, but followed different religions and paths.

Civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. once said that we, as the people, “...must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” Malcolm X, another famous human rights activist, made a sort of contradictory quotation, remarking that the, “...American Negro has no conception of the hundreds of millions of other non-whites’ concern for him: he has no conception of their feeling of brotherhood for and with him.” As much as these two advocates strive for equality towards both blacks and whites throughout the United States during the rise of civil rights movements in 1960’s and later, they show substantial differentialities on how they push to do so. Each of their mindsets formulates their speeches, causing different messages being made towards their audiences. Martin Luther King, for one, leans more into a powerful, yet peaceful approach towards the people while Malcolm X steps forth on the pedestal of shame and pushed the people to act with a violent outcome. These different approaches and mindsets leads back to none other than their early beginnings itself. It leads back to the lives each one of them endured and the ambitions they were each grown into, all during the time of racial oppression towards African Americans. It leads back to the motivations they were entitled to battle for racial equality, however striving to do so in different mannerisms.

The two passages from Martin Luther King, and Malcom X are both about fighting for rights, for the African Americans. Marin Luthers view is to fight with peace, he doesn't want to fight back with the whites or they'll just keep getting in trouble, so they go sit in restraunts for white people. Malcom X was fighting for the same reason, black equality. Malcom X wanted to fight with violence until the whites wouldfinally give in to be equal. In the passages above they both give many differences and smiliaraities as well as important information about African Americans and economic conditions. In my opinion Martin Luthers way is better because wgite people would overpower blacks in violence.

Luther King Jr... The Civil Rights projects and lessons helped me gain a better understand of

As of the first lecture I attended, I observed that this course would be interesting because it dealt with the Civil Rights Movement and its effects on the population; moreover, we were going to discuss how great religion was involved most of the time in this movement. The most valuable figures we learned about in class who were up front but the opposites of each other were Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. When comparing these two figures, it was important to me to not be involved in any biases. Therefore, my first objective was to investigate the roots of King and Malcolm, analyzing the differences in their childhood experiences and how those experiences affected their scholarly appearance in the Civil Rights Movement. I wanted to see if their childhood experiences justified their adult beliefs. Also, I wanted to see how their strengths and weakness shaped

Martin Luther King and Malcolm x were both advocates for racism and had the same goals for their fellow negroes. They both fought for freedom, for their fellow black people to come together and fight, and for the future generation to have a brighter future. However, even with the same goals, their thoughts on how to gain it was very different. While MLK wanted to do it in a very peaceful manner, Malcolm X wanted it to happen in a very hostile manner. Also, MLK wanted everyone from gay, Muslims, and black to work together to achieve the big goal of ending racism but, Malcolm X wanted divisions to happen between all sorts of people. Therefore, supporting MLK seems more reasonable than supporting Malcolm X.

Dr. King was a man of great honor and valor. His friend Malcom X was an agressive man who like Dr. King wanted equal rights of all people. In this paper I will talk about how both men were similar in their fight for equal rights and also how they were different.

complicated and long standing problem. It will take a long time even to make tiny progress.” This relates to Martin Luther King’s speech because in his speech he talks about wanting integration through civil disobedience. Doctor King wanted to achieve racial equality and he tried doing this though hi speeches. In his speech “I have a dream…” he was very optimistic and inspirational. MLK was influenced to make this speech because of the things he went through in his past. On thing that he was put though was not being treated equally. Malcolm X said that racial equality could only be achieved by creating an independant nation. He wanted several billion dollars for damages

Freedom is the key to liberty. Without it there is no peace or justice, which follows towards African American going through their life with fear in their hearts. Dr. King and Mr. Mandela were the brave men to fight for their people to be free at last and their freedom. They both address freedom in similar ways. They do the list of repetition, give a way to earn freedom, and last but not least come together as an army with pride and do whats best for their kind to receive their liberty rights and dignity.
