What King is understood keenly and what the young Black activists of the late 60s never understood was that advocating for violence was equal to succumbing to hopelessness and despair. Large scale movements are fueled by hope. As soon as you succumb to despair the movement dies.
The black activists in the late 60 got more and more militant, advocated for more and more violence and in the process destroyed the movement. While the frustration was understandable, the black community desparately needed leaders who could organize Black anger into a movement that could lead to improving things for Black people.

Start listening at 8:33 to see all the things that Dr. King and his group, SCLC, was doing.


It is one of the great ironies in Black history that the people who say they choose Malcolm over Martin are so painfully ignorant about the true nature of these individuals. Listen to Malcolm’s Ballot or the Bullet speech and you’ll realize that Martin before he died was doing the exact thing that Malcolm advocated for. Also go and listen to Malcolm speech in 1965 at the Militant Labor Forum. There he breaks down how his militancy (and the NOI militancy) made Dr. King more publicly acceptable (when Dr. King was leading the bus boycott he was considered a radical).

After Dr. King died there was no one trying to channel Black anger into organized action. You can see Dr. King’s viewpoint on the Black Militant of the late 60s here. This is from a speech given a month and a half before he died on W.E.B. DuBois. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Honoring Dr. DuBois" Speech The whole speech is worthy of a read.

Above all he did not content himself with hurling invectives for emotional release and then to retire into smug, passive satisfaction. History had taught him it is not enough for people to be angry-the supreme task is to organize and unite people so that their anger becomes a transforming force. It was never possible to know where the scholar Du Bois ended and the organizer Du Bois began. The two qualities in him were a single, unified force. This life style of Dr. Du Bois is the most important quality this generation of Negroes needs to emulate.

The educated Negro who is not really part of us and the angry militant who fails to organize us have nothing in common with Dr. Du Bois. He exemplified black power in achievement and he organized black power in action. It was no abstract slogan to him.

People sleep on MLK in the years after the dream speech. He really wasn’t playing with them. I had to set a former coworker straight that tried to call him soft.

He didn't he wanted to believe that a good amount of white folks were good people that they could fix the system more easily but in the year's fighting the system Martin found out that most white people wanted to keep the same white supremacy system even the "Good ones" wanted to keep it he finally understood
white supremacy and wanted blacks to just build our own shyt and do our thing



Probably the best representation of 67' Martin


Did anyone find the full speech of this?
