Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X both were amongst the many people who helped the black community to overcome a lot of hardships, such as segregation. They grew up in the era where blacks and whites were not equal, blacks were below whites. Growing up and witnessing those actions of the whites made them want to fight for what's right. The black communities started to take a stand. Different groups were formed to help conquer segregation, such as the NOI. Martin even formed nonviolent groups as opposed to Malcolm who fought back with anger and hatred. Both Malcolm and Martin's fathers were politically active Baptist preachers.
