    On 21 February 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down in broad daylight at a political rally at the Audobon Ballroom in Harlem, New York. The very embodiment of black power, Malcolm X gave his life for his cause. A freedom fighter, he was determined to achieve his aims - "by any means necessary," as he put it.

    Malcolm X truly was misunderstood. The influences in his life shaped who he was at certain moments in time, and I don't think the world really got to see the true Malcolm until after her returned from Mecca with a different mindset about whites.

    I live like a man who's already dead," Malcolm X said last Thursday in a two-hour interview in the Harlem office of his Organization for Afro-American Unity. "I'm a marked man," he said slowly as he fingered the horn-rimmed glasses he wore and leaned forward to give emphasis to his words.

    This is the complete text of Malcolm X's The Ballot or the Bullet speech. The speech sums up Macolm's view of white America. He attacks the political system, the draft, and the fact that blacks are not truly American while newly naturalized immigrants are Americans. He further uses the description of the blue eyed European to convey his image of the devil.

    This biography is very interesting because of the information it contains. Whereas the Alex Haley version had hundreds of pages of Malcolm's hustler stage, this condenses it into one sentence. It also talks more about Malcolm's relationship with MLK, quoting him as saying that he made MLK's job easier because when given the choice they would not prefer his violent attitude over King's peacefulness.

    This lesson brings up an interesting point. While Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. seemingly were polar opposites, they also shared common goals. Malcolm also became less violently opposed to whites after his trip to Mecca, more in line with MLK's views

    This article provides a comparison of Malcolm X to other civil rights orators like Dr. King. Malcolm is relatively unique in the sense that he promotes violence for the use of the African American cause. He justifies violence as self-defense.

    On one hand, it was good that Malcolm was so active in recruiting members to the Nation of Islam. However, the quickly growing movement scared white people. Although fear may help in gaining rights for African Americans, it will also spur additional mutual hatred, not what American needs to be successful.

    Malcolm X has surprisingly been the praise of African American feminists. His message provides empowerment for women. This is ironic considering Malcolm's view of white women as status symbols during his days with drugs and superficiality.

    The narrator, in Invisible Man demonstrates total naivety towards the beginning of the novel. He does not realize the harm that is being done to him by white people and even by his fellow black people. The theme of communism is present within the narrator's work with the Brotherhood.
  • Emily S on 09 Jan 12
     
    Malcolm's supposedly stated that white people did not approve of the religion of Islam because it reminded them of the injustices that they served to the African Americans. This shows the bitterness that Malcolm eventually gained towards white people. The irony of the matter is that Islam originally preached forgiveness as a high value. He using religion as a crutch for bigotry.

    Haley's interpretation of Malcolm X's life reshaped the genre and made a statement within the genre. This novel affected the average black man. This book can be seen being read on college campuses across the united states. Haley's interpetation of Malcolm's confusing regarding his own life speaks to the black people.

  • The doctrines of the Nation transformed the chaos of the world behind prison bars into a cosmos, an ordered reality.
  • Malcolm finally had an explanation for the extreme poverty and tragedies his family suffered, and for all the years he had spent hustling and pimping on the streets of Roxbury and Harlem as "Detroit Red."
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This helps show the rebirth of Malcolm X as he begins to understand the world around him and embrace his past. It also explains the theme of chaos vs. order for out of the chaos of prison comes the order of his new principles.

  • The work tells of Malcolm's rise from a life of crime and sin to deliverance through his conversion to the Nation of Islam, then his repudiation of that sect in favor of a more inclusive vision of world and racial unity.
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This shows that Malcolm X grows from his early ignorance to control his own destiny. His maturity is finally acheived as he grows to make his own decisions. X never looks back from this point on.

#3 Malcolm X deception maturity

shared by Connor P on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • He had eight children with his wife, Sister Clara Muhammad, but also fathered a number of illegitimate children with his secretaries, a circumstance that was one of the reasons for Malcolm X's final break with the Nation of Islam in 1964.
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This again shows the deception which changes Malcolm X's life forever. He understands that the Nation of Islam is not for him just as IM learns the Brotherhood is not for him. This leads to both of their discoveries about themselves.
