Weekly Reflection

This past week of school consisted of Ben's teaching, Craig was still out of town. In history we discussed the civil rights movement in the 1950's. One thing that stood out to me was comparing Martin Luther King Jr to Malcolm X. I think I was one of the only people to prefer Malcolm X over MLK Jr. Don't get me wrong, I did like that MLK Jr brought out that white and colored people should be treated equal, however, I liked how Malcolm X displayed his feelings more. Malcolm X was blunt and wouldn't take anything from anyone. He explained how he actually felt toward the white people and stood up for himself describing exactly what he wanted. I just enjoyed this more than the kind words of MLK Jr.
