Who was more successful Martin Luther King or Malcolm X?

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were almost complete opposites.When he was a child, Malcolm X's mother and father fought and beat each other and their children, and Malcolm X ended up in a foster home after his house was burned down by the 'Klu Klux Klan', resulting in the death of his father and his mother's mental breakdown. This affected Malcolm X's approach to segregation and he was very violent.Martin Luther King grew up in a very comfortable middle-class home with a loving family, and Martin Luther King was peaceful but persistent. He led many protests including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and sit-in campaigns against cafe segregation. He helped to desegregate schools. He also preached equality. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his actions.I think the most successful approach was Martin Luther King's. It was certainly the best as it was not violent. He must have had more impact on establishing equality.
