Malcolm X
(born Malcolm Little; May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965), also known
as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was an African-American Muslim minister,
public speaker, and human rights activist. To his admirers, he was a
courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans, a man who
indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black
Americans. His detractors accused him of preaching racism, black
supremacy, and violence. He has been described as one of the greatest and
most influential African Americans in history. Malcolm X was born in Omaha, Nebraska. By the time he was 13, his father had died and his mother had been committed to a mental hospital. For more information click here
