More than forty years after their deaths, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X remain two of the most famous political activists in the history of the United States. Their struggle for the recognition of black rights in the United States has had a resonance far beyond the American borders. Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1964, Martin Luther King became the worldwide symbol of the Civil Rights Movement. At the same time, Malcolm X became an icon in Africa, where heads of state jostled each other to receive him. Two black political projects clash, two characters, two philosophies of America. Were their political strategies reflected in the media of the time, with radio and nascent television in mind, fully understood?
