I am Muslim but I still think Dr. Martin Luther King was a more effective leader.  He had a mission and that was getting equality and right to vote for people of all races in the United States through peaceful means.  Peaceful means is always more effective than violence. He could have been a better political leader for blacks than Jesse Jackson if he was alive.  Look at Mandela and Gandhi.  The Palestinians could learn a few lessons.  Sucide bombers is not the answer.\n\nMalcolm X had more anger and hatred in him and got pulled into a racist movement which was the "Nation of Islam".  He wanted to highlight the plight of blacks in America and bring in the notion of black superiority.  Later on in his life he went to hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca and embrased true Islam and its unversalist concepts, by then he was assasinated.

Well, if you want a civil rights leader there's Martin Luther King Jr. But, if you're wanting a really interesting project, you can do your report on German Dictator, Adolf Hitler. That's just two of the thousands of possibilities.

Dr. King's house was bombed Jan 30th, 1956.  He was attending evening services at the First Baptist Church:\n\n"Three nights later, on January 30, I left home a little before seven to attend our Monday evening mass meeting at the First Baptist Church. A member of my congregation had come to the parsonage to keep my wife company in my absence. About nine-thirty they heard a noise in front that sounded as though someone had thrown a brick. In a matter of seconds an explosion rocked the house. A bomb had gone off on the porch. \n\nAfter word of the bombing reached the mass meeting, everybody attempted to keep it from me. People looked at me and then away; one or two seemed about to approach me and then changed their minds. Soon I noticed several of my fellow ministers going in and out of the church in a rather unusual manner, and from this I surmised that something had happened. Unable to restrain my curiosity any longer, I called three of my closest associates and urged them to tell me what had happened. I assured them that I was prepared for whatever it was. Ralph Abernathy said hesitantly, "Your house has been bombed." \n\n-"The Autobiography of Martin Luther King"

Uh, he's not as old as anything anymore since he has passed away. If you mean how old *would* he be today...he'd be 77 y/o this year. I am assuming that you meant Martin Luther King, JR.

Johnson played both sides in the civil rights battle.  He pacified groups that opposed the civil rights act before he bowed to pressures to expand civil rights.  In the end, he played his part for political reasons unlike MLK who acted based on the principles he believed in.

The Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. , often called Martin Luther King Day, is a United States holiday honoring the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., observed on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King's birthday, January 15. It is the only United States federal holiday commemorating an African-American.\n\nThe holiday was the result of a large-scale campaign headed by a number of activists. One of the most notable of these was musician Stevie Wonder, who released the single "Happy Birthday" to popularize the campaign in 1980 and hosted the Rally for Peace Press Conference in 1981.\n\nOpposition to the Bill was led by Sen. Jesse Helms who questioned whether King was important enough to receive such an honor. He was also critical of King's opposition to the Vietnam War and alleged Communist connections.\n\nAt the White House Rose Garden on November 2, 1983, U.S. President Ronald Reagan signed a bill creating a federal holiday to honor King. It was observed for the first time on January 20, 1986.\n\nOn January 18, 1999, for the first time, Martin Luther King Day was officially observed in all fifty U.S. states. The day is marked by demonstrations for peace, social justice and racial and class equality, as well as a national day of volunteer community service.\n\nOn January 16, 2006, Greenville County, South Carolina, was the last county in the U.S. to officially adopt Martin Luther King Day as a paid holiday.
