The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Government institutions played a role in shaping Malcolm X's identity because of his race because the government attacked and suppressed the black power movement, civil rights protests, segregation, and other actions that limited the expression of African Americans, and other minority groups such as Chicanos, Native Indians, or gay people.

Malcolm X became one of the most renowned and notorious members of the African American movement known as Black Nationalism. In an opposite direction to the non-violence approach of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X used violence and aggressions in his demonstrations under the argument of the right of self-defense against the aggressions of the police.
