From the Paper
"The Civil Rights Movement in its contemporary form started in 1955 with an act of mild disobedience by a black woman on a bus in the Deep South. Black leaders developed several strategies over the next few years, strategies that would be successful in changing laws and in getting some of the long-standing discriminatory institutions of the South changed. Between 1954 and 1965, the Civil Rights Movement developed into a major movement for social justice, societal change, and self-determination for millions of black Americans. The tactics undertaken by the movement have ranged from violent to nonviolent, with nonviolent predominating under the direction of Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers. The movement started first around the busing issue in Montgomery, Alabama, but it was also the culmination of decades of frustration nearly a century ..."

Abstract
The paper relates that the actions of the Nazi regime regime both internally and externally were justified by legal and political rule that gave justification to social segregation, war and even in principle, the holocaust. The paper then points out that, similarly, the Civil Rights Movement highlighted that despite social enlightenment regarding the equality of races, there has been little effect on the political and social representation of minorities in the U.S. The paper concludes that Martin Luther King's statement reminding that the legality of Hitler's actions in the war reflects how the law can be used to the disadvantage of society. This reflects that social conditions influence politics and legislation just as much as they affect society and the need for these various social institutions to check and balance each other.
Outline:
Introduction
Impact to society
Legal foundations as justification
Implications to the civil rights movement
Contemporary legal and political systems
Conclusion

From the Paper
"According to Stychin and Mulcahy (2007), the establishment of legislation, aside from creating legitimacy for an action, also protects the action from legal consequences even if they interfere with civil or natural rights. In contemporary legal and judicial systems, there is an assumption of the law to take precedence. The only avenue in such settings otherwise is through the order of appeals or higher courts. Thus, the provision or availability of legal justification also implies the political support or justification of the action. At the same time, as illustrated in King's illustration of the right of African Americans to civil liberties, there is an assumption that the public can hold its political institutions accountable. "architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir" (King, 1963b)
This has significant implications to socio-political systems. Pattison and Evans (2006, p. 712) point out that public policies such as laws, "fundamentally change the relationships between citizens and their careers and among careers and the law and the state". This also implies that the law, which is separate from the system itself since it is defined by legislature, is the overriding component in the system (Unger, 1977). Thus, the law may not reflect what is just or equitable but more evidently political perspective of the state. This then requires active action to change and implement legislation through reform or social movements."

From the Paper
"After achieving few of his objectives in Albany, Martin Luther King, Jr. recognized the need to organize a successful protest campaign free of conflicts with SNCC. During the spring of 1963, he and his staff guided mass demonstrations in Birmingham, Alabama, where local white police officials were known by their anti-black attitudes. Clashes between black demonstrators and police using police dogs and fire hoses generated newspaper headlines through the world. In June, President Kennedy reacted to the Birmingham protests and the obstinacy of segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace by agreeing to submit broad civil rights legislation to Congress (which eventually passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964)."

From the Paper
"In 1963 King participated in another mass demonstration, this time in Birmingham, Alabama and this time having to do with the desegregation of department stores and the promotion of nondiscriminatory hiring practices. Many protesters experienced police brutality and King himself was arrested; he wrote "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" in order to bring attention to this experience. Later that same year on August 28 King helped to organize and lead the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In conjunction with five other civil rights organizations which included the NAACP, Urban League, Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, SNCC, and the Congress of Racial Equity, King's SCLC attempted to bring the plight of African-Americans into the nation's consciousness.

From the Paper
"In the opening chapter, Dr. King addresses the question, "Why 1963?" and summarizes the many events that brought the emotional crisis which black people had endured to a head. Segregationists were proving the depth of their intransigence. Africa was moving to full independence, yet in much of America neither African diplomats to the United States nor United States Marines were accorded basic human decency. To combat this situation, Dr. King had studied and been profoundly influenced by the doctrine of non-violence, which he discusses in his second chapter, "The Sword That Heals.""

"Near the end of their lives, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X's beliefs became more similar. Malcolm X corrected himself after his break with the Black Muslim movement. He now emphasized unity and change through black pride and respect for oneself rather than through hate and revenge. Dr. King, on the other hand, became somewhat angry at the lack of progress made on equality. He started promoting non-violent sabotage, which including blocking the normal functioning of government. At one time, Malcolm X actually wanted "to join forces with King and the progressive elements of the Civil Rights Movement," (pg. 262 Malcolm X: The Man and His Times)."

Abstract
The paper elucidates that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s unparallelled impact on the the American Civil Rights Movement was due to his articulate and moving orations and writings and his comprehensive understanding and use of political and social philosophies. The paper also looks at King's ability to embody the change he advocated to the African-American community and argues that he was the most influential leader of the American Civil Rights Movement .
From the Paper
"A second justification of his unparalleled influence can be seen when examining the honor and modesty King portrayed throughout his life. Many identify Martin Luther King, Jr. as the most significant leader of the American Civil Rights Movement simply due to the venerability of his character. It is the self-respect and honesty of both his personal and professional conduct which truly separates him from other political leaders of the era. For example, the fame and popularity King experienced did not change the individuality of his principles. King's beliefs were strictly based on his own morality and did not transform to match popular opinion. A clear illustration of the integrity of his leadership was his unwavering stance on the Vietnam War. "

Abstract
This paper examines how both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X used their writings and speeches to counteract and negate white racism. The author points out that the main difference between the ideologies of two Civil Rights activist is the polarity of violent and non violent. The paper relates that King did not see violence as a sensible means to change average white Americans to supporting black equality in government and social status.
From the Paper
"This race study examines the contrary opinions about fighting racism that existed between Martin Luther King Jr. and another race activist in the Civil Rights era, Malcolm X. The use of violence to win the freedom of black people in America is presented in Malcolm X's speech "Message to the Grass Roots". Contrary to this message of violence toward white authority, Martin Luther King sought non-violent methods of activism to help change white America's negative opinions on the black race. In this manner, both King and Malcolm X offer two polarized opinions about violence and non-violence that existed within the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. The message of violent action against white racist society is clearly portended in the speech "Message to the Grassroots". "
