Why nonviolence?
Within the civil rights movement there were two major camps regarding the most effective strategy to deal with overtly racist policies, people and communities. For many year Martin Luther King, Jr. sat at one pole of the nonviolence question while Malcolm X sat on the other. While one would profess the importance of humility and forgiveness of those that wrong us the other believed in self defense by any means necessary. In addition to your regular reading for the blog post this week I would like you to read Malcolm X (Ballot or the Bullet speech) and Martin Luther King Jr. (Nonviolence and Racial Justice). Answer the following questions in your post. Be sure to respond to another student.
