Malcolm X was a leader for the rights for blacks. He was a small time criminal and went to jail, when he was in jail he joined the nation of Islam. The nation of Islam believed in reverse racism, they thought that blacks should be superior to whites. Malcolm X went to Mecca and saw all Muslims of all races and colors getting along. This lead him to publicly disagree with the nation of Islam's anti-white beliefs. Malcolm X was then assassinated while giving one of his speeches. After his death a book was published about him. If this is not enough go to brain-pop and watch the video about him.
