MLK had to deal with a problem that was similar to Gandhi. Both of them approached the problem in similar ways, educating the public on their beliefs.

However, in Malcolm X’s speech, he says, “This is part of what's wrong with you — you do too much singing. Today it's time to stop singing and start swinging.

This opposes Dr. King’s views directly. Another part in MLK’s speech is, “. . .
