For a long time, African Americans were treated unfairly. Many of them could not lead a normal life or go to school. Segregation was everywhere. However, many civil rights leaders took steps to restore fairness to African Americans, something they had not had in a long time. Over time, the civil rights movement greatly improved the African American community. This is a departure from Brown v. Board which concluded that the “separate but equal” policy was unconstitutional for Black Power. However, the movement gradually lost momentum as members of the African American community turned to fighting against each other. Although civil rights leaders used many methods, they were primarily violent and pacifist methods. We can take Martin Luther King Junior as an example of non-violence and Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael for violent methods. Martin Luther King Junior, Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichaels were among the famous civil rights leaders. Each of them had their own methods of fighting for African American equality. Martin Luther King Junior was famous for his speech, his patience and his non-violent methods. During the Montgomery boycott, he used the “conciliatory and oratorical” method. Even when he was arrested in Birmingham, he didn't do anything violent. He simply calmly wrote a very touching, meaningful and convincing letter. He is known for his famous "I Have a Dream" speech which attracted approximately 200,000 participants. Compared to Martin Luther King Junior, Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael were more aggressive and followed violent methods. Malcolm X was a spokesperson for Muslims. He used to state that African Americans should take control of the political and economic resources of the middle of paper...the term was used more strongly. In 1966, Black Power became a "rallying cry" for the failure of police to protect people from violence and the failure of government on economic issues for poor African Americans. However, the movement began to lose momentum since the assassinations of Malcolm X and King. . Additionally, over time, conflicts began between violent and nonviolent activists. As a result, there was a war within the African American community that gradually separated African Americans. Protests have therefore diminished over time. Overall, over time, it is undeniable that the methods and their plans have improved and revolutionized. More and more people have become aware and have used media tools to attract public attention. Life in the African-American community has gradually and dramatically improved since Brown v. Board.
