All social changes (revolutions if you will) require two groups. The passive group and the militant group. The Russian Communist revolution had them. The Chinese Socialist Revolution had them. The French Socialist revolution had them. The Cuban Communist Revolution had them. And yes...the American Republican revolution had them. The Civil Rights Movement was no different.
History remembers the militant heroes like Lenin, Mao, Napoleon, Che, and George Washington but this country requires that we remember ONLY the passive leaders. Maybe this way we will be trained into thinking of passive movements over picking up arms. That is why we are taught of Gandhi and not the Muslims and the Sikhs who fought and actually pressured and pushed the British government back.
This is why Malcolm is mostly pictured with any an angry expression on his face while biting his lower lip and pointing his index finger. While Martin Luther King Jr. who told us all to wait because the time will come if we continue to pray and march is the one we are told to remember.
Let's inform ourselves and learn that Dr. King Jr. was slowly becoming more so called militant at the end, because of Vietnam and the Government's slow action towards equality. Malcolm X was more productive by leaving this country and actually taking his passive plea to the United Nations. As both of these men were beginning to see eye-to-eye and join forces, that's when the triggers were pulled.
Time was not wasted into promoting a "Turn the Other Cheek" image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a "By Any Means Necessary" image of Malcolm X. Happy Birthday Doctor!

Who started the the Protestant Reformation?
The Protestant Reformation was "started" by Martin Luther. The movement started because of corruption in the Roman Catholic Church that used indulgences- the paying for forgiveness of sins and simony- the buying of catholic positions.
