Malcolm X
Life, Education and Death:
Malcolm X (1925 – 1965) was born as Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925. His father was a Baptist minister and a strong devotee of the Black leader Marcus Garvey. Garvey’s message, as many readers will be familiar, was that Black people in America would never be able to live in peace and harmony with white Americans and their only hope of salvationwas to move as a people back to their roots in Africa. Malcolm’s father died when he was six and his mother was put in a mental home when he was about twelve. As a result, his many brothers and sisters were split up and put into different foster homes.
Malcolm left school early and eventually drifted north and finally settled in Harlem, New York, on his own, at the age of 17.
In Harlem, he soonslipped into a life of crime. He became involved in hustling, in prostitution, in drug dealing. He became a cocaine addict and a burglar. Finally, at the ripe old age of 19, he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
It was while he was in prison that his whole life changed. He first learned of the existence of the Honourable Elijah Mohammed and of the movement known as the BlackMuslims from his brothers and sisters outside the prison. They had become converts to the movement and asked Malcolm to write to Elijah Mohammed.  In Chapter 11 of his autobiography, Malcolm writes that “at least twenty-five times I must have written that first one-page letter to him, over and over. I was trying to make it both legible and understandable. I practically couldn’t read my handwritingmyself; it shames me even to remember it. My spelling and my grammar were as bad, if not worse”. This chapter in his autobiography is extremely moving as it documents a man’s desperate pursuit of an education.
Malcolm X's expressed beliefs changed over time. As a spokesman for the Nation of Islam he taught black supremacy and advocated separation of black and white Americans—in contrast to the civilrights movement's emphasis on integration. After breaking with the Nation of Islam in 1964—saying of his association with it, "I did many things as a [Black] Muslim that I'm sorry for now. I was a zombie then ... pointed in a certain direction and told to march"—and becoming a Sunni Muslim, he disavowed racism and expressed willingness to work with civil rights leaders, he continued to emphasizePan-Africanism, black self-determination, and self-defense.
Stood for beliefs:
Malcom X had a strong belief that the black community sat back to much and let the "white society" as he called them, stomp all over them. In his speech he stated that the blacks should be more assertive and stand up for their rights.
Goal:
Malcolm X's goal as a child was to become a lawyer, but he was told that hecould not become one, as he was black. Later on in life, he joined the nation of Islam, and become a spokesman for the organisation. His main beliefs were that black Americans and white Americans should not be intergrated (not live together). He said that he and his followers should obtain equal rights, by any means possible, which implies he meant through violence (although he never said this).Towards the end of his life (after a pilgrimage to Mecca), he began to aim for a more 'together' America, and had aims similar to those of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Why they killed him:
killed him for being a black man violent he wanted the war by arms against white now face against LUTHER KING. I wanted the union of all blacks and whites in a peaceful destination in society but the two positionswere more subversive than creeinaqn those with power - could not acertarlas the government of that country and serve luck.
The Place he went to speak speeches:
Throughout the speech we see a gradual increase in tone in the voice of Malcolm X. In pronouncing words like "negroes", "Kennedy" or "Doubts" most emphatically does, almost shouting, showing which words are most important in his...
