Question

select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from john lewiss walking with the wind: a memoir of the movement shows that the author was influenced by henry david thoreau? as far as i was concerned, malcolm was not a civil rights leader. malcolm was not part of the movement. the movement had a goal of an integrated society, an interracial democracy, a beloved community. what malcolm x represented were the seeds of something different, something that would eventually creep into the movement itself and split it apart. he was not about integration, not about interracial community, and he was not nonviolent. to his credit, he preached personal independence and responsibility, self - discipline and self - reliance. but he also urged the black man to fight back in self - defense—by any means necessary, as he famously put it. and i just could not accept that.
