Is mandela greater than Martin luther king jnr??Remember they both fought for the right of black race.The only difference between the two is
Martin luther king jnr fought for blacks in the States,Mandela did in South Africa.Martin luther king was Assasinated while Mandela was sent to prison for 27 yrs..

The question has been who is greater between the two because Martin luther king jnr was'nt accolade all this respect.My own opinion has been luther king jnr,having fought for the black race in the state and he did before Mandela giving others hope..

Who is your take please,Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela.

Both were great in their own different ways, they both fought to put an end to a brutal racist apartheid system, but Luther King went further by trying to challenge the US govts activities in countries around the world.

King was hated by the US establishment but their hatred for him increased when he began speaking out against US involvement in the Vietnam war and putting an end to poverty amongst working class Americans (black and white).
Speaking out against a system which discriminates against blacks is one thing but going further to speak out against poverty and the American war machine are even bigger issues which could lead to mass uprisings by the American people (black and white) for this reason MLK became a serious threat to the powers that be in the United States and had to be stopped.

Mandela on the other hand confined his fight to the overthrow of apartheid in South Africa and though the ANC drew up a Freedom Charter which advocated wealth redistribution to narrow the gap between poor blacks and the white minority this was never implemented. Also Mandela allowed the economic structures of apartheid to remain in place thereby consigning the majority of poor blacks to languish in poverty. This may be one of the reasons why Mandela was not assassinated by the apartheid power structure.
