5/6/2024 0 Comments Story of Malcolm XMalcolm Little, later changed to Malcolm X was a principal spokesman of the Nation of Islam during the 50s and 60s. Little was shedded from his last name because it was Malcolm’s slave name. He worked his way up the ranking of the Nation of Islam until he was the second highest ranking as the national spokesman.
The story of Malcolm X was inspiring to me. It showed another perspective to attack leadership with. It goes to show there are multiple ways to get the same job done. Malcolm’s story started in violence… his father committed “suicide” on the train tracks. This was believed to be a lie, and he was really murdered by White supremacists. Years later, Malcolm’s mother began to have psychotic breakdowns. Malcolm was extremely smart, but lost interest in school after the trauma he was experiencing at home. He later moved to Boston where he fell victim to petty theft before he was caught and arrested. In prison, Malcolm was saved by the Nation of Islam. Malcom was going down a path of theft and sexual relations with white women before his introduction to the religion. Malcolm worked his behind off to make his way up the rankings. Before, I talked about MLK and his ideology of nonviolence. Malcolm didn’t believe in this ideology. He thought this was unrealistic, so he had a more aggressive approach. Which do you agree with?
