Well, my reply of the Civil Rights Movement is that it's wrong for people of different color to be segregated & they should be integrated because it is a form of racism and offends people.In my point of view, It wasn't fair that a lot of the white people got to do things that the colored people couldn't. All people should be equal to do the exact same thing. As citizens, we should be united in one so we can be good friends to one another & forget the past. We should learn to love other people of different color because they were created by God; like He created us! God loves all of us equally, so we should learn to love everyone like he does with us. Even though there was hatred back in the earlier days, we are now in peace & happiness together.
As for Malcolm X, he said that the religion Islam instilled African Americans' rights.It was weird that during his lifetime, he kept converting to new Christianity. Basically, to me, what he means to say is to never judge anyone with whatever their beliefs are. He's went through his hard times throughout his childhood; which is his father killed by the KKK, his mother in a mental hospital, and moved to a foster home as for himself. He also was the only colored kid in his class and dreamed to be a lawyer, but his teacher said it wasn't possible for colored people and gave him suggestions like working in a factory, plummer, etc. And because of that, he dropped out of school, but still learned. During his childhood, he would steal things just to live and ended up being in jail for a long time. But, when he got out, he fought back by telling everyone what he believed in; and he was SUCCESSFUL.
