What is the relationship between Booker T washington, W.E.B. Debois, and MLK?
151029
they were all civil rights leaders, and worked toward that end using some variety of non-violent action. Booker T. went toward the "boot-straps" idea, DuBois was more about getting the white man off his back, and MLK took to the streets.

I don't know, but MLK's death was a travesty for the Black population.  He was truly a man of peace and honor.

it is very hard to say. he changed quite a bit over his lifetime. he was of his circumstances. he wasn't born into a middle class preacher family like MLK. given his circumstances he made the right choices. it's hard to find fault with any of that. maybe one could say he was at first too rigid, militant and uncompromising, for  a while he considered people like MLK to be uncle toms. he changed later after his pilgrimage but that same quality is what lead him away from NOI once he found they were corrupt. he made some errors that seemed correct at the time but he changed with better information.... you can't call this a shortcoming. this includes the kind of blind faith he may have had in Elijah Muhammed.\n\nthough i only know of him through the autobiography etc. so i don't know to what extent that account is idealized. maybe he was too saintly for his own good?

This is an odd question.  I don't think Martin Luther King Jr. influenced technology.\n\nAre you sure your school question isn't about Martin Luther\n\nHe lived in the 1500's and was the major factor in the creation of protestantism in the Christian faith.\n\nHe did lots to influence technology, including the creation of major printing presses and information availability.  Before the 1500's few people knew how to read.  Martin Luther, by promoting the printing of the bible for all to read encouraged literacy and therefore education and reform, which led to smarter people, which led to the invention of better technology.  Do you see where I'm going?\n\nThere's more information at.....

He was born as Malcolm Little.  While in prison for burglary, Malcolm Little adopted the Black Muslim faith and became a minister of the Nation of Islam upon his release in 1952. As Malcolm X, he was a charismatic advocate of black separatism who rejected Martin Luther King, Jr.'s policies of non-violence. Malcolm X broke with the Nation of Islam in 1964. That same year he made a pilgrimage to Mecca and shortly afterwards he embraced orthodox Islam and took the name El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. He recanted some of his earlier more strident viewpoints on race, though he remained a staunch advocate of "black power." He was shot to death by a group of men while giving a speech in New York City in 1965; some of the men had connections to the Nation of Islam, though a formal tie between that group and the assassination was never proven.

I've always wondered that too. I think that Washington and Lincoln are more important than MLK to American History. I think that MLK was a great man and did great things, but he didn't go nearly as much as our early presidents did.
