Discuss Malcolm X’s evolving racial feeling about himself in particular about whites and African Americans in general.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was an angry young man who hated the segregated world of the American South and the injustices he saw inflicted on African Americans all over the nation. In adulthood he came to feel that anger offered no solution to the problems that he and other African Americans faced. What made him changed his mind? What were the roots of the philosophy that he adopted and used to land the civil rights movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s? How did King give Americans a sense of self-worth and the tools to achieve their aims?

How did he react to the FBI crusade against him? To white and black backlashes? To the attacks on his policies that seemed to come from all sides? What did his support of the anti-Vietnam war movement cost him?
