There is one perspective that constructed a huge impact against the Civil Rights Movement. The leader, Malcolm X, attempted to persuade people with his ideologies, surrounding the procedure of protesting and his thoughts on civil rights. Unlike Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm pursued the segregation between african americans and white people. He thought that any necessary actions to become equal with white people was the only way, including violence. Additionally, he typically had negative connotated comments on what Martin Luther King Jr. did, due to King’s acts of defiance. In contrast, approximately a year before Malcolm’s death, he opened up to the thought of Civil Rights, and attended the Washington March. Later, he died in 1965, by an assassination. His ideology on peaceful protesting remains as a notion to this moment in American history. ​​​​​​​
