"The dynamic of MLK vs X was critical. Martin preached love, affection over ire. He wanted nonviolence to be the answer that came from the heart. Malcolm was much more militant, preaching necessity over patience. He felt that the ONLY answer was Black mobilization, be it for fair enfranchisement or pan-Africanism. They represented both sides of the spectrum, with the attainment of rights squarely in the middle."
