This article can definately relate to things from King's speeches and Malcom X's opinions. It is about little movements and attemps that people made before. Many people tried getting away with sitting in White seats on busses, but Rosa Parks was the one who made a movement out of it and got publicity and credit for it. Many people wrote letters and gave speeches before King and X did. King and X just grabbed a bigger audience and got more publicity for it. I think a lot of people just think that these three people were the whole movement. They were the only ones who stood up and fought. These three may have gotten more credit than others but they were certainly not the only ones. There were thousands of others who were doing the same things.
This would be an interesting exhibit to see.
