I would make the case that, outside of his embrace of Islam, that Malcolm X was much more conservative than King, he advocated blacks taking care of themselves and not waiting for liberal handouts.
I agree, despite the fact that at the time, Malcolm X was perceived as being much more radical.

Death kept this from happening to MLK, at least any further than it did.
