Martin Luther King Jr. was christian, and never reacted to counter-protests with violence. Malcolm X, on the other hand, was famously quoted saying, "By Any Means Necessary", which alludes to the violent measures he was willing to take to get his point across. Martin Luther King Jr. believed strongly in integration, and pushed to integrate public facilities across America. Malcolm X disagreed, believing that integration would destroy African Americans, and emphasized racial unity and "sticking together". Still, both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were prominent leaders of the Civil Rights movement, and created legacies that will live on forever.
