I don't think it's that wild. In middle school I was taught that Malcolm X was evil and making things worse for black people because he wasn't peaceful and civil like MLK. That's total and complete bullshit, as I've come to learn, but that's the amerikkkan education system for you
One thing that's interesting to note (at least for me) is that Malcolm X became much softer and more inclusive later in life while MLK seemed to have become more hardened and cynical with age.
