Malcolm X's actions and speeches most clearly inspired the Black Power movement and African-American activists seeking racial equality and empowerment. His advocacy for self-defense, self-determination, and black pride resonated with those who sought to challenge systemic racism and assert their rights and identity in the face of oppression. Malcolm X's message of black nationalism and his emphasis on the need for unity, self-education, and economic empowerment had a significant impact on the Civil Rights Movement and influenced subsequent generations of activists fighting for racial justice.
