watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning more about the life and
accomplishments of Malcolm X we declare
on this learn to be a man to be a human
being to be respected as a human being
to be given the right of human being in
this society on this earth in this day
which we intend to bring into existence
by any means born Malcolm little on May
19 1925 in Omaha Nebraska he was taught
early on about black pride as his father
was involved in the universal Negro
Improvement Association he and his
family were forced to move around in his
youth
due to the Menace of various white
supremacist groups in 1931 his father
was killed by a streetcar and seven
years later his mother was committed to
an asylum by the time he was 20 Malcolm
X was living in Boston and engaging in
various criminal activities it was there
he was arrested for burglary and
sentenced to eight to ten years in jail
while in prison he educated himself and
became interested in the Nation of Islam
religious movement he began conversing
with the group’s leader Elijah Muhammad
and decided to join finally in 1952 he
was paroled the Honorable Elijah
Muhammad teaches us that it is time for
you and me to stand up for ourselves it
is time for you and me to see for
ourselves it is time for you and me to
hear for ourselves and it is time for
you and me to fight for ourselves he
then changed his family name to X like
other members of the group and this
represented his unknown African name
Malcolm X quickly moved through the
ranks of the Nation of Islam and was
instrumental in the group’s growth he is
credited with encouraging boxer Cassius
Clay better known as Muhammad Ali to
join we look at miss you
I see white even Todd’s on the payment
of Jonathan back in 1959 Malcolm X
expanded his audience by appearing on
television to discuss the Nation of
Islam he relished any chance he had to
speak especially to college students
Malcolm X was working in direct contrast
to members of the civil rights movement
who were aiming for racial integration
and nonviolent protest Malcolm X
preached that African Americans should
be completely separated from whites that
blacks were the superior race and that
they should use any means necessary to
defend themselves this resulted in a
tense relationship between civil rights
activists and Malcolm X black people of
dissatisfied the dissatisfied not only
with the white man but they’re
dissatisfied with these Negroes who have
been sitting around here posing as
leaders and spokesmen for black people
and actually making the problem worse
instead of making the problem better in
1963 he began working on his
autobiography with Alex Haley soon after
his reputation in the Nation of Islam
was tarnished when he made disparaging
remarks following president john f
kennedy’s assassination on march 8th of
1964 the former star of the group
announced he was leaving the Nation of
Islam amid ongoing death threats and
tensions with its leader he quickly
formed his own religious organization
called Muslim mosque Inc and converted
to Sunni Islam now that I have the
independence of action it’s my intention
to whip what everybody or against
everybody whatever the case may be to
try and get some kind of immediate
solution to the problems that are
confronting our people this was also
when he decided to make his pilgrimage
to Mecca which was one of many trips he
made around the world that he credited
with expanding his global outlook his
personal beliefs began to evolve and he
chose to reach out to other civil rights
leaders to work together toward the same
goal we will work with any groups
organizations or leaders in any way as
long as it’s genuinely designed to get
results
however on February 21st 1965 Malcolm X
was speaking at Manhattan’s Audubon
Ballroom when he was shot and killed the
three men convicted of the crime were
all members of the Nation of Islam
though two of the three maintained their
innocence even after his death Malcolm
X’s
Diaz influenced african-americans groups
like the Black Power movement can be
traced back to him Malcolm X is both
revered and reviled however he is
remembered for being a brilliant
activist for african-american rights by
even his sharpest critics I am well
aware of what I’m setting in motion by
what I’m saying up here tonight I’m well
away but I have never said or done
anything in my life that I wasn’t
prepared to suffer the consequences for
