INTRODUCTION
Malcolm X was an outspoken public voice and activist for human rights and a prominent African American national leader. Born as Malcolm little, he changed his name to el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz on converting to Islam. Being a member of the Nation of Islam, he soon rose to a key influential figure, though he broke with them in 1964. The following incidents led to his fiery assassination in the next year.
On 19 May 1925, Malcolm Little was born as the fourth of eight children of Louise and Earl Little. His father was a human rights activist in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and was in frequent fights with Ku Klux Klan which forced him to move to Michigan from his home town Omaha. In 1931, his father was found dead in the Municipal street car tracks. Though his family was sure that it was a murder, the police closed the file as a streetcar accident and thus refused the huge insurance amount. His mother was greatly affected with the incident and in 1937, she was admitted to a mental asylum. Malcolm and his siblings were sent to different foster homes.
Though he was bright student, Malcolm dropped out of the school, as he was abused by his teacher who harassed him being a black child. Moving to Boston with his elder sister Ella, he came to contact with drug and criminal mafia of the city. In 1946, he was arrested for larceny and was sent to jail for ten years imprisonment. The times in prison were the most important event in his life. He read profusely and came to contact with Nation of Islam, a small group of black Muslims with an ideology to establish a separate state for the blacks. With the influence of their leader Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm joined the Nation of Islam. Shortly after the release from the prison in 1952, he omitted Little from his name and changed it to Malcolm X.
Being freed from jail, he joined Elijah Muhammad, and promoted the Nation of Islam. He inspired his followers to have a revolution against racism and urged them to undergo a non-violent riot if needed. His eloquent and passionate speeches attracted supporters and the number of followers of Nation of Islam hiked from the mere 400 in 1952. By the time of 1960, he aroused as an alternative to Martin Luther King Jr, though both were different in their ideologies and also King was critical about Malcolm’s fascination towards non-violence. But the rupturing of relation with Elijah Muhammad made him estranged from Nation of Islam and being disillusioned left the association in 1964.
The same year, he embarked on a journey through Africa and Middle East, which converted his outlook towards the human rights movement and wished to convert the struggles against colonialism and racism. He did Hajj, a holy pilgrimage to Mecca and accepted traditional Islam again changing his name to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. On his return to America, Malcolm was observed as more inclined towards peace and pacifism. But that didn’t last long as he was shot dead during a speech in Manhattan on 21 February 1965.
