The differences between Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X can be summarized with the following two key points:
1. **Philosophy on Protest Tactics**: Martin Luther King, Jr. advocated for nonviolent civil disobedience as a means to achieve civil rights, drawing inspiration from Gandhi's principles of nonviolence. In contrast, Malcolm X initially supported a more militant approach and believed that violence could be a legitimate response to oppression, particularly in the context of self-defense.
2. **Relationship with Law Enforcement and the Establishment**: King generally supported the idea of cooperation with law enforcement and sought to bring about change through legal means and dialogue. In contrast, Malcolm X was often critical of the police and the government establishment, viewing them as oppressors of the African American community and advocating for a more confrontational stance against systemic racism.
Note: The other options presented are inaccurate or misleading. King was a Christian leader, not an Islamic one, and both leaders addressed issues related to urban and rural communities in their own contexts rather than strictly focusing their efforts based on geography.
