Both the Weatherman and Malcolm X’s Nation of Islam had militant views towards their ideas and gave a more violent image towards their respective…

W.E.B. Du Bo Before the seminal leaders of the civil rights movement, such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther, there was W.E.B. Du Bois. Du Bois was a catalyst for the civil rights movement. He evoked change in the daily lives of African Americans with the establishment of the NAACP. Growing up in America in the early twentieth century, Du Bois lived in a society where discrimination was tolerable. Though he was valedictorian of his high school, he experienced dehumanization first-hand in the Jim…

Samy Mahmoud HIST 1480 Reading Journals Mon 8/29 Gaines’s thesis is to discuss the Civil Rights Movement through a global lens.
