The Black Power phase was best embodied by one of its leaders, Malcolm X, a Muslim convert who used the Islam religion as his philosophy in promoting the Black Power movement's objectives, which promotes the use of violence as replacement to moral idealism in the black Americans' fight against discrimination and prejudice. More than anything else, the Black Power movement promoted the use of violence directly against white Americans -- that is, black Americans need to use violence in order to protect themselves against the oppressive white American society.
Under Malcolm X's leadership, the Black Power civil rights movement developed more radical goals. While under King's leadership, creating a society wherein both black...
Combining both his Muslim beliefs and his being black American, Malcolm X argued for a new social order -- the Nation of Islam -- wherein this new society will have Islam's religious philosophy and traditions as the dominant and prevalent social order. Ultimately, the Black Power movement negated King's call for an integration of black and white Americans within one nation and territory, the United States.

Under Malcolm X's leadership, the Black Power civil rights movement developed more radical goals. While under King's leadership, creating a society wherein both black and white Americans are equal is the social ideal of black Americans, the Black Power movement re-focused its demonstrations and protests to a more radical and idealistic goal: create a new social order wherein black Americans will dominate, solely assuming control of this new society's economic and political activities and decisions. Combining both his Muslim beliefs and his being black American, Malcolm X argued for a new social order -- the Nation of Islam -- wherein this new society will have Islam's religious philosophy and traditions as the dominant and prevalent social order.

Board of Education of Topeka. This case represented a watershed for Civil Rights and helped to signal an end to segregation because it determined that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" (Warren, 1954).

MLK Martin Luther King penned his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" precisely because his peers in the religious community had criticized his acts of civil disobedience. The letter is a rhetorical argument, rooted in Aristotelian rhetorical strategies. King also relies on a tone that emotionally charged yet rational at the same time, avoiding hyperbole and sarcasm or anything else that would put off his readers. Although King's strategies proved ultimately effective at
Ernest Gaines - a Lesson Before Dying Ernest J. Gaines is considered by many critics to be a giant in his genre, and although he is not as "militant" or "intense" in his writing as Richard Wright, or James Baldwin, he makes his points about racism, about poverty, and about cultural bias, with a very strong sense of narrative and character development. This paper will address the characters in Gaines' novels,
American History? The technique of oral history, sampling the life of one person or several people to gain a portrait of the era is deployed in a uniquely effective fashion in Having Our Say. Simply by virtue of their longevity, the Delaney sisters had lives that intersected with the most seismic national and international events that shook the 20th century, including the American civil rights movement, the Great Depression, as
Creative Minds Critical Thinking Famous Thinkers Paper Subjects: Martin Luther King Malcom XS It is not easy to readily deconstruct the ideas and courses of action that Malcolm X advocated, for the simple fact that those ideas and courses of action changed so much during his relatively short lifetime.
