Malcolm X was a contemporary of Martin Luther King, Jr. during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. A militant leader of the Nation of Islam, Malcolm renounced his association with this movement and adopted many of the beliefs of the King and other prominent civil rights activists. In his speech at Cory Methodist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, Malcolm expressed the importance of the 1964 elections and its impact on the civil rights of African-Americans.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail
Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote a response to white clergymen from the cell of the Birmingham City Jail in 1963. The clergymen urged King to let the civil rights issues be decided in the courts. King argued that it was imperative for the oppressed minority to assert their rights through acts of non-violent civil disobedience.
