I don't think its best to play one off on another. The two people named had unique qualities, views and methods and therefore were not in conflict for the same audiance. It is best to remember, and value,both for their contributions, real and perceived, to the advancement of black people in the Unites States. There is room, as has been shown here already,for a long list of exemplary people who strove for the personal and collective growth of black people. I would like to nominate Thurgood Marshall.
