"A book that is well researched and gives one so much to think about as far as where we have been and where we are headed and how much further we have to go. A comparison of 2 very different ideologies, both trying to achieve a similar goal. I will read this book several times in my life."
"In this book liberation theologian James Cone compares the lives, careers, and teachings of the two leading figures of the Civil rights Movement and Black Power Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Cone's thesis is that in spite of their public feuds MLK and X needed each other, and complemented each other. He further goes onto to say that the ongoing issues of justice and freedom for people of color in the US are framed by the philosophies of these two leders. At the same time Cone is careful to warn the reader against making either or both of them out to be messiahs, as he reveals their shortcomings and areas of blindness. This is a great book for anyone trying to grasp the essential messages of the 50's and 60's."
"Really interesting comparison of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Did a good job of tracing similarities while highlighting the necessary differences in their messages given the different audiences."
