  1. Two Men Two Philosophies One Goal

  2. Equality

  3. Before we start, how would you describe each man's life?

  4. Time to review what these two men were all about...

  5. When you see a quote you like, record it on your sheet...

  6. Write down no more than two quotes as you will need some of the space later...

  7. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

  8. If you're not ready to die for it, put the word “freedom” out of your vocabulary.

  9. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

  10. Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.

  11. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

  12. You can’t drive a knife into a man’s back nine inches, pull it out six inches, and call it progress.

  13. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

  14. We want freedom by any means necessary. We want justice by any means necessary. We want equality by any means necessary.

  15. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

  16. The price of freedom is death.

  17. Violence is not going to solve our problem…I feel that Malcolm has done himself and our people a great disservice…urging Negroes to arm themselves and prepare to engage in violence, as he has done, can reap nothing but grief.

  18. Dr. King wants the same thing I want – freedom. Now his method of going about getting it is the nonviolent way. We may differ in method, but that does not mean we differ in objective.

  19. Now that we have read some of their words of wisdom...

  20. As we go along, jot down quotes you like under the person whose ideas they represent. Don’t forget to write down who said it!

  21. There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for. Mohandas K. Gandhi

  22. Unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains… Karl Marx

  23. Negroes - Sweet and docile, meek, humble, and kind: Beware the day they change their mind. Langston Hughes

  24. The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. Ayn Rand

  25. Fight the power. Fight the powers that be. Public Enemy

  26. If the law is of such nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law. Henry David Thoreau

  27. Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. Albert Einstein

  28. Laws control the lesser man.  Right conduct controls the greater one.  Confucius

  29. Peace begins with a smile. Mother Theresa

  30. Now, for the assignment: 1) Decide whether you believe in the teachings of Malcolm X or MLK Jr. 2) Either create or borrow a quote which represents your belief. 3) Create a piece of art (8.5” x 11” or larger) which promotes your belief using your slogan and visuals related to a movement we have studied or an event within one of those movements. This can be drawn, collaged, computer generated, etc. If you use someone else’s quote, make sure you indicate who made that statement. DO A GOOD JOB!!!!
