  4. MLK “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood” Malcolm X “If I have a cup of coffee that is too strong for me because it is too black, I weaken it by pouring cream into it. If enough cream is poured in, eventually you don’t even know that I had coffee in this cup. This is what happened with the March on Washington. The whites didn’t integrate it; they infiltrated it;…It ceased to be a black march…In fact, it ceased to be a march. Quotes

  5. MLK “Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies or else? The chain reaction of evil – hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars, must be broken, or else we shall plunge into the dark abyss of annihilation.” Malcolm X “Who ever heard of angry revolutionists swinging their bare feet together with their oppressor in lily-pad park pools, with gospels and guitars and “I have a Dream” speeches? And the black masses in America-were-and still are-having a nightmare. On Violence and Power

  6. On Malcolm X “You know, right before he was killed he came down to Selma and said some pretty passionate things against me. But afterwards, he took my wife aside, and said he thought he could help me more by attacking me than praising me.” On MLK “He got the peace prize, we got the problem…If I’m following a general, and he’s leading me into a battle, and the enemy tends to give him rewards, or awards, I get suspicious of him. Especially if he gets a peace award before the war is over.” Quotes on Each Other
