Malcolm X help?

Question

I'm doing a project on the main fugureheads and satus simbles on the history of African Americans for history, and all of the sites i go to are rubbish. Can anyone give me some good and simple information for Malcolm X? Will be received gratefully.

Answer 1

Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska. His father was a member of Marcus Garvey's movement and as a result was killed by local KKK men. His mother lost stability and her children. Malcolm spent time in boys' homes and eventually found his way to the street. He led a life of crime, admitting to having been a thief and a pimp. While serving time in jail, he was introduced to the teachings of Eljah Muhammad's Nation of Islam. Upon his release, he became a minister for the organization, gaining reknown for his firey speech. His growing interest in the practice of Islam led him to question Elijah Muhammad's organization. Malcolm X made the Hajj, which is a religious pilgrimage performed by Orthodox Muslims. He changed his name to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. Upon his return to the States, he renounced much of Muhammad's teachings and split from the group. Shortly after this split, Malcolm X was shot and killed while delivering a speech at the Audobon Ballroom in New York. Google or Dogpile it!

Answer 2

He was the leader of the Black Muslims during the Civil rights movement. He thought that it would be better if the black society would segregate themselves apart from the white community and make thier own enterprise. But when Malcolm X went to Mecca, he learned that Islam was a religion of an intergrated society.
