MLK vs Malcolm X

Whose methodology was more effective Matrin Luther King vs Malcolm X? That is a question that will forever be controversial, but in my opinion MLK had a much better idealogy/methodology than Malcolm X. Violence is never an effective method, because by becoming violent one lowers him or herself to the attackers level. This non-violence method by MLK was more effective because it was more difficult to stop the protests. By not being violent the people who followed MLK could not be convicted with as many charges compared to Malcolm X's followers who did become violent. After reviewing both Malcolm X and MLK's quotes I can make the inference that when Malcolm X spoke he wanted to riel up the people he was speaking to and encourage them to fight for equal rights by any means necessary; while MLK empowered the people he spoke to and encoureged them to the change that could be done without resorting to violence.
