MLK Vs Malcom X

Both of their methods had an effect on the civil rights movement, while MLK preferred Civil disobedience to violence, which I felt had a better impact and a better image the Malcolm X 's, methods. This has been stated that he would do what ever was necessary to achieve his goals, which would  sometimes involve violence to me his method. If incorrectly used could have sparked U.S military action and/or retaliation's and could mean the death of many people of both races.  While MLK's was simple nonviolent protest that would not demand action be taken if for ex Mlk's quote" if somebody punches you hug them back" compared to Malcolm X's quote" if they lay a hand on you kill them". The objects were similar but not the methods.

a society divided

Is it impossible to achieve the American dream for people of all races?, I believe it is possible however unlikely based on the film a class divided, since the children that were negatively effected for the time period of the test had put them selves down, they simply lost confidence in themselves it seemed, and being deemed inferior to the other test group. They were subject to scrutiny and insults, the children allowed this group to control them,  even though they were not bound by the superior group..

return of racisim

After reading the article about the school in Louisiana this truly shocked me that people still show signs of inner hatred for one another, simply based on the color of their skin. Even worse of the government in Louisiana  still holds onto decisions based on color which I thought was supposed to be purged from the judicial system decades ago. The similarities to the little rock incident decades before, both gathered national attention like when the the president Isenhour during the time of the little rock incident sent about 1,000 soldiers to protect the black students  attempting to enter the school, and this time through the Governmet system. Each of these events had a significant impact of an entire community rising up and protesting the treatment of people based on color..

50's sexism

shows and advertisement from the 50's showing a woman ridding a tractor attempting to sell the tractor, and displays a few instances of sexism, Now with the inclusion of the text "Look what happened to the old grey mare" which  represents an old woman and the display of the tractor seems to be some sort of improvement by buying tractor. the fact that driving a tractor was meant for men of that time period, and honestly I cannot say I know any woman getting on tractors and apparently enjoying it.
