Can anyone help me write history paragraph?

I am not sure why you are having so much trouble - you have the MLK quotes - have you read any quotes by Malcolm X? In general Malcolm X was more militant then Dr. King. King advocated non-violent resistance to injustice(as a result alot of his followers ended up in jail), while Malcolm X advocated potential violent resistance - but mostly encouraged his followers to be assertive, intelligent, and responsible. He was a Nation of Islam minister and followed principles of the Quaran. Dr. King was a evangelical Christian - both used their faith to promote their actions in the civil rights movement. Both were assasinated by individuals who felt threatened by their actions and words. You should do fine - especially if it is only a paragraph. Contrast their styles, religion, and means of resistance - and you should be able to write a good pragraph. Hope this helps.
