Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Though Nelson Mandela did some violent things in his youth, overall, he was a big advocate of peace--of non-violent protests!. Same with Martin Luther King Jr!.
Malcolm X was NOT a fan of the non-violent resistance thing!. He once said, "Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery" and "I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligenceā€

But all three of them fought for black rights!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mandela was a member of a political party in South Africa called the African National Conference!. The ANC was considered a terrorist organization by many governments up until recent times!. The reason why was they would use subversive acts to battle against the South African government that practiced Apartheid!. He spent 26 years in prison because of his voice and his association withe the ANC!. Malcohm X went through many changes in his life, but he belived before he died, that whites, blacks and people of all colors could coexist!. His life was taken away by people who believed that he was trying to undermine and dishoner a person they felt was divine!. MLK believed in making political and social changes by the use of passive agression or what he called social disobedience!. He died while fighting the problems of war, racism and government oppression!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
