Malcolm X Little was the 4th child born to Reverend Earl and Louise Little. He also had 3 half siblings. His dad believed in self-determination and worked for the unity of black people and tried to teach Malcolm the same way. His dad tried to raise Malcolm to be aware of his ethnic background and dignity. Violence was always sparked by white people that were trying to stop black people such as Rev. Little. (Malcolm's father)

After he was born his family quite a few times before he they finally settled in Lansing, Michigan. His father became active in the University of Negro improvements Assoc. he also go involved in the Black Baptist Church.

Throughout Malcolm's life he was dedicated to black people. I guess you could say that he followed in the footsteps of his father. Even though Malcolm, his brothers, sisters, and parents were all shot, burned out of their homes, harassed, and threatened they still fought for their freedom and for what they believed in.

I feel that Malcolm led a very fascinating life and I believe that I have never see a man that had fought harder for what he believed in than Malcolm X did. I also felt that now one went down with more dignity than Malcolm did.

I feel like a man who had been asleep somewhat and under someone else's control. I feel what I'm saying now id for myself. Before, it was for and by guidance of another, now I think with my own mind.

Another great speech that Malcolm made was this one:

If you look at Malcolm's life as a whole you will see that he was born into Christianity as Malcolm Little and he died in Islam as Malik Shabazz. This is something to think about and I feel it's an expression of legacy. He went through the transition period of the religion of the Nation of Islam, a religion of American origin borrowing some terms from the Muslim culture of the East.

Throughout Malcolm's life he saw and experienced many wonderful things. Generosity and open heartedness were qualities that impressed him and we gifts given to him in many places. He saw brotherhood and the brotherhood of different races and this led him to disclaim racism and to say I'm not a racist... in the past he permitted himself to be used... to make sweeping indictments of all white people, the entire white race, and these generalizations have caused injuries to some whites who did not deserve to be hurt. He then no longer made sweeping indictments of any one race.
