Jackie Robinson and Malcolm X

Rachel Robinson describes Jackie Robinson's stance against violence and the rhetoric surrounding it, and his perspective on Malcolm X's militant views. Robinson denounced Malcolm X as "a man without a plan," while Malcolm X viewed Robinson as detatched from the needs of African Americans. Robison saw business and politics as the next frontiers of civil rights progress, and helped found the first black-owned bank in New York to serve African Americans who were typically denied service elsewhere.
