Martin Luther King Jr. Was a peaceful right activist. He believed that without violence they could accomplish civil rights. He believed doing the exact opposite of violence, that love would accomplish this because he saw that when people relize all the color folks show is love and peace and the white man realize all they have done is shown hatred, abuse and racism that guilt would take over them. That the white man would realize what he has done wrong and would come to senses that the coloreds are people just like them with equal rights. King Believed that through love, peace and the power of words he could make the black man free.
Huey Newton was part of the Black Panthers, a violent group who look towards violent as the only way of freedom. Not just all violence but smart too, they had set up a food program to feed both black and white kids who had no food, a good meal. This is what put some white people on their side, this group was feeding their hungry kid. Any parent would support a group feeding their child. This was a good manipulation to get people on their side. Huey Believed that peace would not stop the white man from violent aggressions, and racism. He believed they needed to get it by force, to show the white man the the blacks will not tolerate anymore of it. He believed that if we showed violence toward them, they should show violence towards us; to give us our own medicine. Huey Believed the violence would make the black man free.
Malcolm X. was more towards violence in the begining of his journey. He felt that since us whites show violence towards them that they should show violence to us just like Huey Newton. But he then took a journy to Islam to find his true self and once he did he realized that peace is the way to his goal. His perspective then changed form the way of Newton's to they way of Kings.
