EFFECTUATING EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY: THURGOOD MARSHALL When presenting the chief influencers of the civil rights movement, many would immediately think of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with his peaceful protests and empowering speeches that urged people to be calm and rational. Also, Malcolm X could be seen as a chief influencer because he called black people to action and told them to stand up for their rights. On the other hand, the judicial branch and the court systems are not normally considered the prime source of change in the civil rights movement. However, the principle decisions that changed civil rights history forever and greatly influenced equality were made almost exclusively in courthouses.

Malcolm X, also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz’s legacy is about one’s personal transformation of a self-made man.

To some he was admired as a courageous human rights activist for blacks, and in some others eyes, he was a man who preached racism and violence towards the whites. Before his last two years of adapting to a peaceful outlook as an activist; before, on one hand, he was undeniably repulsed by the racial discrimination and violence against black Americans, and on the other he originally believed that America offered
