Pr cis 4-4-08 Martin Luther King's Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963)is a letter Dr. King wrote after being jailed in Birmingham Alabama after organizing a economic boycott of white businesses, using a smuggled pen and piece of paper. King's statement served as a powerful motivational tool for the civil rights movement proclaiming African Americans could no longer "wait" for civil freedom. He discusses how there are "just" laws , and there are "unjust" laws; he advocated obeying just laws , but on the contrary argued obeying unjust laws was morally wrong. He also brought up a compelling point, that whites were placing blacks in jail for breaking the law when these same "law-abiding" whites were ironically breaking the Supreme Court's decision in 1954 to end segregation. King then presents the idea of two opposing forces in the Negro community, those that of complacent Negroes who because of many years of oppression have adjusted to segregation and become insensitive to the problems of the masses. The other group is those who are bitter and hold hatred and advocate violence. Overall, the significance of this letter is that Martin Luther King advocates the coming together of the Black Americans community and ultimately all Americans will come together peacefully. "The Black Revolution" Speeches (1964) by Malcolm X, display his ideology of Black separatism. Malcolm X advocated total independent aspects of political, economical, and sociological from whites in the black community. Economically he felt blacks should gain control over their community and have complete control of businesses so that they could provide jobs for themselves instead of begging the white man for jobs. He also stated that politically African Americans must be on ballots in all fifty states to prevent bloodshed and the use of bullets. In comparison to Dr. King's views, Malcolm X had a narrow-minded view that African Americans must help themselves, and not associate with whites, where on the other hand King felt African Americans should work with White Americans to accomplish civil liberty. Stokely Carmichael passage of Black Power (1966) entails the idea of blacks becoming "proud" of being black, and after being put down many times with non-violent marches need to keep their heads up and take control. He also discusses his opposition to integration because it reinforced among African Americans that "white" is automatically better and "black" is inferior by making blacks move into white neighborhoods; he felt integration was a maintenance of white supremacy. He felt in order to have true integration whites should move into black neighborhoods and ghettos and this would make integration relevant. Carmichael also agreed with Malcolm X that black people must do things for themselves but unlike Malcolm X he stated that this didn't mean he didn't welcome help; they just wanted the right to decide what was right for them. This was significant because Carmichael's view was somewhat of a middle ground between Malcolm X's separatist views, and King's all out compatibility with whites.
