Understanding Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Black Nationalism

This episode focuses on a discussion of the book 'Martin and Malcolm and America: A Dream or a Nightmare'. Pastor Shane delves into how Martin Luther King and Malcolm X didn't create the ideas of integrationism and black nationalism, but inherited them. Both figures are compared, acknowledging their different methods in achieving the same goal: equality and freedom for black people, but also highlighting their shared realization that the capitalist system in America was not just keeping black people poor, but keeping all poor people down. Shane emphasizes the importance of not 'whitewashing' history, but understanding and appreciating diversity.
