DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHO MALCOLM X WAS OR ARE YOU BASING YOUR JUDGEMENT FROM WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TOLD YOU?
Almost everyone has beard of Malcolm X. We know he was an activist, we know he fought for black people but do you know why he did it and what he actually did?
Malcolm X has been described as an extremist, a white hater, Satan and many other things. History will not painting the picture well of him because of the affiliations he had.
In the book he talked about being born from a black father and a mixed raced mother who was a product of rape.
His father was a preacher and an activist that believed all black people should go back to Africa and there would come a time when Africa would be ready to lead itself.
When his father died after a brutal attack by white men who believed that his message was bad for the negro population decide to kill him only then does his family realise it's greatest tribulation that leads to his mother being sent to a mental institution and his family of 7 siblings being split up to foster care.
Malcolm later took up a life of crime that landed him in prison where he meets his a new religion, the religion of Islam. He is a close follower of the then Muslim leader and rose to high ranks when he was out of prison. He later found out the scandals in the brotherhood and decided to disassociate from them.
He goes for pilgrimage in the holy city of Mecca, where he finds all Muslim brothers and sisters living as one despite racial differences. This is the type of brotherhood he tries to bring to America after his pilgrimage. Then his life ends why the bullet if the extremist he helped make in America.
