Everywhere one looks, it is easy to find someone, usually black or white, stereotyping either another person or group. This stereotyping can also be referred to as discrimination. The most common form of discrimination in the world is racial discrimination. Many African Americans have lived long harsh lives for one reason only, the white supremacy before World War II.

Out of all races, the one that seems to be hit the hardest by people who discriminate are the African Americans. Ever since 1619, blacks were enslaved, usually under the direction of white people, and this problem began to be dealt with in 1830 (Deburg 3). There was a significant growth of black people in the United States starting in the 1600s (Allen 9). “The use and importance of African labor had expanded to the extent that it was impossible to speak of black bondage solely as an economic tool for the agricultural development of frontier America” (Deburg 3). The major racial discrimination toward the black society took place in the southern part of the United States (Deburg 3).

Many individuals and groups took action to prevent any more of this racial discrimination. For example, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X are two African American men who made a stand for their race and what they believed in. Martin Luther King, a very successful student and a well-accomplished adult began speaking of his civil rights movements to the public in 1957. In 1965, King didn’t stop protesting against discrimination of African Americans in voter registration (MLK Timeline). Malcolm X, on the other hand, dealt with matters in a more violent way. Malcolm, a man of about the same age as Martin Luther King Jr., was a well-known spokesman in the ghettos of different cities. Malcolm was known to speak with hate towards white people, but
