martin luther king and Malcom X were near complete oppisates in their methodology.
martin luther king believed in non violence and civil disobidience which started movements like the lunch counter sit ins
malcom x believed in "by any means neccessary" just doing anything to end racisim including violence
i believe Kings methods were more effective because his actions were extremely effective but he wasnt really doing anything wrong like the lunch counter sit ins. black people were just sitting at counters , they werent phyically hurting people like Malcom X's followers. when your using violence it makes you look really bad as race so malcom x could have also been hurting themselfs in some ways. plus Malcom x pretty much admitted that kings ways were better when he got back from Mecca and converted to MLK-esque methodology of non violence
