Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and the Civil Rights Struggle of the 1950s and 1960s: A Brief History with Documents (The Bedford Series in History and Culture)

Great for reconciling these often apparent differences between the two men.

There’s No comparison to Malcolm X and his View on Racism and what he was trying to do to elevate Equality. Martin Luther King was a admirable Civil rights Leader; but I will never agree with him and his terms of “Turn the other Cheek”. Basically teaching the people to continue to be brutalized;..when they already have suffered enough. It’s time to demand Freedom and Civil Rights besides just preaching Sermons about It.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I had to read it for one of my classes and I usually don't like reading assigned books, but this book was easy read. I read most of it in like 2-3 days. It has very interesting documents, but I found the Malcolm X documents a lot more interesting.

The author's organization of the information he had was solid. Having to read this book as an over-worked college student, it was difficult to get through. I found the reversal of attitudes and roles between the two men intriguing. If you're a big civil rights buff or want to know more about these two figure heads, this is the book. If you're looking for something to assign to your honors level students... well, not so much :) (we read this book after Anne Moody's Coming of Age in Mississippi, the contrast is what ruined it for me I think.)

Books in good condition, like purchasing it at a Barnes and noble. I don't remember the packaging but I'm almost sure it was a bubble wrap bag. The book itself is oddly enough interesting. I had to buy it for a history class, but im impressed. Gave insight into both civil rights leaders first hand, from interviews and speeches

Came in perfect condition

This book is a relatively quick.read and well organized. The author used the settings and along with speeches and interview by MLK and Malcolm X to weave a picture of the U.S. And the struggle for civil.rights.

This book includes very interesting information and explain in depht point of view of the two different civil right leaders and explain how they were both essential character fur success, this books also shows the importance of religion and churches during the civil right movement and some great speeches from Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. This book is very accessible and goes directly to the essential informations. I loved it !

I haven't finished yet but this is a very good little book. Good, well sourced stuff.I became interested in the convergence of MLK and Malcolm X some time ago and have long wondered what history might might have been like had the two men lived. I personally think that they would have formed a broad coalition. The USA and world in general would be a damn site better place if they had.
