Description
Malcolm X grew to be one of America’s most influential figures. But first, he was a boy named Malcolm Little.
Bolstered by the love and wisdom of his large, warm family, young Malcolm Little was a natural born leader. But when confronted with intolerance and a series of tragedies, Malcolm’s optimism and faith were threatened. He had to learn how to be strong and how to hold on to his individuality. He had to learn self-reliance.
“His martyrdom, ideas, and speeches contributed to the development of Black nationalist ideology and the Black Power movement and helped to popularize the values of autonomy and independence among African Americans in the 1960s and ’70s.” (From: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Malcolm-X/Final-years-and-legacy)
