Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little, was an American civil rights activist and leader. He was born on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska, and was assassinated on February 21, 1965, in New York City.
Malcolm X was a prominent figure in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. He was a vocal advocate for black nationalism and separatism, and he preached the message of black self-reliance and empowerment. He was a strong critic of the nonviolent approach to the civil rights movement advocated by leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., and instead, he advocated for self-defense and armed resistance against the systemic racism and oppression faced by Black people.
Malcolm X was a member of the Nation of Islam, a Black nationalist religious organization, for most of his adult life. However, in 1964, he left the Nation of Islam and founded his own organization, the Organization of Afro-American Unity. He also traveled extensively, both within the United States and internationally, to promote his message of Black empowerment and to build alliances with other oppressed groups.
Malcolm X's activism and advocacy inspired many Black people and other marginalized communities to demand their rights and fight against systemic racism and oppression. He is remembered as one of the most influential and important figures of the civil rights movement, and his legacy continues to inspire people to fight for justice and equality.
