These laws stated that public facilities must be segregated, which prevented interaction between races. Our country may still be the same if it was not for the works of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. These two men fought to end exploitation, discrimination, and racism making the United States a free nation with equity for all.

Some even compared their approaches to “oil and water.” Despite their differences, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X brought about great social changes in the United States.
