Malcolm X ✊

Malcolm Little better known as Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. Malcolm was appointed as a minister and national spokesman for the Nation of Islam. His charisma, drive and conviction attracted a large amount of new amounts. He was featured in a week long television special in 1959 called "The Hate That Hate Produced". The television special explored the NOI (Nation Of Islam) and Malcolm's emergance as one of the NOI's most important leaders. In March 1964 Malcolm terminated his relationship with the NOI. Malcolm decided to find his own religious organization, the Muslim Mosque Inc. That same year Malcolm went on a trip to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Malcolm shared his thoughts and beliefs with different cultures and found the response to be overwhelmingly positive. Malcolm said that he had met "blonde haired, blue eyed men I could call my brothers." He returned to the United States with a new outlook on integration and a new hope for the future. When Malcolm spoke instead of just speaking to African Americans, he had a message for all races.

I choose Malcolm X because he was headed on the wrong path but he completely turned his life around.
