Media and nonviolent actions

Although I accept nonviolent action as a very honorable way to gain equality within this context, I would like to make a comment of how Malcolm X proposed a very contrasting argument in terms of non violent protest. Both activists were fighting for the same cause, but believed in different methods. Where Martin believed it was acceptable to use nonviolent protest, Malcolm believed that it's a crime for anyone being brutalized to continue to accept that brutality without doing something to defend him or herself. Although completely contrasting views, it is evident that both of these values are exercised within groups such as the BLM movement to gain equality in the given context. However, the exact same conflict of views was evident during the 60s civil right movements as well. There were groups of nonviolent protesters and violent protesters. Perhaps this suggests that one cannot work without the other, that the two rely on each other to drive change?
