Compare and contrast the approach of the black panthers and martin luther king. do you think black militancy in the 1960s or hurt the cause of civil rights? write your answer in a paragraph of at least two hundred words.

Martin Luther King (1929-1968) marked one of the main moments of the fight against racial oppression in the USA.  In 1964, at age 35, he became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner because of his fight against racial segregation and oppression in the United States. The form of struggle preached by Martin Luther King was pacifist, inspired by the actions of Gandhi: the civil disobedience.  This proposal for action, based on non-violence and civilian obedience, contrasted with that of other groups in the struggle against racial oppression in the United States, such as the Black Panthers who were engaged in violent clashes against the state.  The struggle of the black panthers was for the freedom of the blacks and the guarantee of employment for them. They demanded better housing, an end to police brutality, freedom for blacks imprisoned in US prisons, the right to be tried by black people, among other things. In fighting what they called the white capitalist robbery of the black community, they demanded compensation from the US government for the enslavement to which they were subjected and also for the mass murder of the black population.

Though with tactics, both Martin Luther king and the panthers wanted the same things: Liberty, equality, and better quality of life for blacks.  Today, blacks have certain rights that have been won by the king and the panther struggle, but there is a long way for all rights to be achieved and all be treated as equals.
