Learning to Read” by Malcolm X

  1. How did the essay “Learning to Read” by Malcolm X influence or affect your understanding of this man and
    the historical time period (and his role in it) as depicted in the film Selma? Use a quote or two from the essay
    that resonated with you.
  2. Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. both wanted racial equality in this country and to bring about social
    change that allowed for equal rights and justice for all, but they had different ideas on how to achieve that goal.
    What are your thoughts on non-violent versus violent protest/resistance? Use a couple quotes (one from King
    or Malcolm X) and you may also quote Popova’s article in your response.
