Abstract
Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X personify the argument regarding protest within the Civil rights Movement. The two charismatic leaders wanted civil and economic progress for the African-American community, and their differing perspectives on American society in the 1960s form the basis of their respective strategies they would enact in an attempt to combat "the same evil-racism-for the same goal-freedom for African-Americans". (Cone 2) However, both leaders would change course during the 1960s, particularly near their assassinations. James Cone, professor of Theology at Union Theological Seminary and author of Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a Nightmare, in the aforesaid text highlights the transformation the title figures undergo during their lives and careers. Despite the fact that the goals, methods, and reasonable expectations surrounding the careers of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were initially in contrast, a number of factors contributed to the eventual fusion of ideologies between the two civil rights leaders.
