Civil rights movement

I think MLK's ideas were most effective in many ways. Malcolm X had many great ideas and he wanted everything to happen no matter what it took for change to happen. In ways it did work but in other ways that got them into some trouble most of the time. MLK's ideas were more realistic and he knew if he did stand up for himself then there would be trouble. So he decided that if everybody just took everything in and had no violence then the change would start. He was right, when some people would get mad at him and became violent with them and they just stood there and took it in and had no comment or even did anything back. Then there would be a bigger effect on people and the civil rights movement. Malcom X had the idea that violence stopped everything but that wasnt the truth at all. At the end of the day MLK's movement was more effective in the civil rights movements.
