You have a speech from Malcolm X and a speech from Martin Luther King Jr. in this unit under the Primary Sources in the “Readings” tab:
Martin Luther King, this is a 4 minute speech, part of a very famous speech, “We Shall Overcome”:
Malcolm X, this is a 7 minute speech. Many things he mentions are direct responses to MLK and other civil rights leaders, especially on appealing to the “moral conscience” of whites:
I’d like you to use the speeches and the readings to create a 100-word post answering this question:
If you want to make important social changes, like those of the Civil Rights era, is it more important to change people’s hearts and minds (to bring them over to your side) or to try to change laws?
