Malcolm X
Malcolm X

Malcolm X (1925-1965) was an influential civil rights activist and Muslim minister who rose to prominence in the United States during the mid-20th century.
Born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, he experienced firsthand the harsh realities of racism and discrimination as a Black man in America. After his father's murder and his mother's institutionalization, he turned to a life of crime, leading to his arrest and imprisonment at the age of 20.
During his time in prison, Malcolm X underwent a transformation, converting to the Nation of Islam and embracing the teachings of its leader, Elijah Muhammad. Upon his release, he became a prominent figure in the Nation of Islam, preaching Black separatism, self-defense, and Black pride. However, after a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964, Malcolm X underwent a spiritual awakening, renounced his previous separatist beliefs, and began advocating for racial integration and unity.
His message of Black self-determination and empowerment, coupled with his uncompromising stance against racism and oppression, made him a powerful and controversial figure in the Civil Rights Movement.
Malcolm X's legacy as a courageous and passionate advocate for Black rights continues to inspire and influence people around the world.
