Malcolm X

Malcolm X also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz was one of the most courageous leaders and activist for African Americans rights of the 20^th century. Described as one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history, an intellectual who portrayed the realities of white America’s crimes against blacks in the harshest light, he was often criticized for his early preaching’s of black separatism and support of blacks rights to use any means necessary to defend and protect themselves against.

He is credited with raising the self-esteem of black Americans and reconnecting them with their African heritage and is largely responsible for the spread of Islam in the black community. His ongoing legacy has moved through generations.
