Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. were two political activists who participated in the civil rights movement and fought for equal rights for African Americans and white Americans.

Another commonality between the two was the fact that they were both assassinated. Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965 in New York. He was targeted by a member of the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist organization he had belonged to. On the other hand, Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis.

Upon their deaths, the immediate reaction of people was absolute shock. Many refused to believe the news, and they saw it as a direct affront to the civil rights movement. The movement continued, with many people maintaining the divisions that had been common between the two characters.  However, as time passed, people eventually began to see both of them as integral parts of the movement for equal rights in the United States.

Why was the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812 sometimes thought of as a "meaningless" American victory?lol nvm
MrRissso [65]

A couple of weeks before the Battle of New Orleans, the U.S. and British governments had negotiated and signed a peace treaty that put an effective end to the war between the two countries. Given that news from Europe took about a month to reach the U.S., both the U.S. soldiers led by General Andrew Jackson and the Red Coats led by General Sir Edward Pakenham was a pointless confrontation. A few weeks after the resounding U.S. victory (only 13 men were killed on the U.S. side and 285 on the British side), Jackson and his men got news of the peace treaty signed before their feat of arms.
