Blog #4 post 2- (thesis and outline)

Thesis: During the civil rights movement, there were two very different views in how the black community should break the walls of cultural hegemony. Looking through 21st century eyes, it is know that both methods, one of violence and one of peace, were effective while at the same time were counterproductive because instead of uniting, there was a lot of conflict between the leaders of the movements.

1. Peaceful protests- Washington and Luther
2. Pushy protests and violence- Malcom and Du Bois
3. How they counteracted one another
4. How they helped each other
5 How they overcame cultural hegemony... the effect of Martin Luther's death because he was peaceful  the success of Washington's school, the success Du Bois had in the law, and Malcom's confidence booster to the African American culture.
