Martin Luther King Jr. was for true equality. Malcolm X was more along the lins of someone that was desiring reverse discrimination.
While Martin disagreed with Malcolm in several area, he understood the reasons for the younger man's angrier rhetoric; though he always encouraged the more peaceful options.
They both wanted freedom. They wanted rights for African Americans.
His views were to shed light on civil rights for African Americans and to spread the word to everybody about the subject
The church sold indulgences as if God grants favors based on price paid. Martin Luther protested this, and the Church tried to force him to recant those views. He refused.
Malcolm X was, at one time, the spokesman for the Nation of Islam. His views were far different than Martin Luther King Jr., who stressed and stayed on a path of nonviolence. Malcolm called for militancy instead of passivity, and appealed to those who felt that in the struggle for freedom, one must use any means necessary to reach their goal. Upon a pilgrimage to Mecca, Malcolm became disillusioned with the view of Islam that was being expressed by the Nation of Islam, and gravitated more toward traditional Islam. Like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X was murdered during a speaking engagement in New York City.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X are two people on different ends of the scales, with totally different up-bringings.King was brought up by a rich black family,with a good education, and a good chance at life. He was a black aristocrat, and a wealthy man.Malcolm X was brought up in the 'ghetto', and had to learn to defend himself against racist white children. He was deprived of his father, who was found dead, murdered by a white mob. His mother became mentally ill so he was sent to a foster home.Martin Luther King Jr. was an activist during the Civil Rights Movement, who based his ideology on equality for both black people and white people. King wanted integration in society, and worked alongside such Civil Rights groups as the SCLC and COREMalcolm X was an Islamic Civil Rights activist, who became popular in the mid to late 1960's as a member of Nation of Islam. He and the Nation advocated self-defense and the total economic and political independence of Black America. This was in contrast to King's idea of inter-dependence. But in April 1964 he left the Nation of Islam and made a trip to mecca. Malcolm X said the trip allowed him to see Muslims of different races interacting as equals. He came to believe that Islam could be the means by which racial problems could be overcome.At times those in power were eager to deal with King for fear of having to contend with Malcolm and the forces he represented. However, though initially favored by those in power, things changed once King opposed the War in Vietnam.
Well Luther himself preferred the term "evangelists", but they were pretty much known as Protestants for a while, until his followers began calling themselves "Lutherans" to differentiate themselves from other Protestants (some sects had widely different views).
mixed
Malcolm x whated to be separate from whites, he wanted blacks to have there own schools, laws, taxes and so fourth. the easiest way to look at it is Malcolm x whated to be views as different from whites, there own cilivatizion, Martian Luther King wanted to be combined and included with whites

Malcolm X's views were completely different then the typical Civil Rights Activist. Unlike Martin Luther King Jr.'s belief in nonviolence and integration, Malcolm believed that blacks should be separated from whites. That blacks were the superior race and should use any means necessary to defend themselves. He preached of the inherent evil of whites and natural superiority of blacks and even of violence.
there both the same because the were in the boycott and leaders of civil right movement!:)
Martin Luther is the founder of the Lutheran Church. Martin Luther King Jr. is a person who died giving a speech of what he believes in. He believed that all men were created equally, no man better than the other. He was not a racist man, but he believed that racism was taking over our country. His views of blacks was very encouraging, to help them to where they are today. Not very many blacks and whites got along back then, but with the progression of today, someone has done a great job putting us together.
