Malcolm X would be a better example. The peaceful MLK movement wouldn't have had any power without having the violent Malcolm X movement on its wing.

Malcolm X was a part of the movement that lead to the founding of the party. Malcolm X was a very important figure. But there were many others less known that did just as much for black liberation. Including the Party as a whole was on purpose. I would include many names but mentioning the party and what it stood is more inclusive. But you are correct.
