How Did Malcolm X Change America

“Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.” was said by Malcolm Little, known as Malcolm X when he was introducing Fannie Lou Hamer. Malcolm Little was born on May,19,1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. He helped expand the Nation of Islam by being a strong orator during the civil rights movement. He used his fiery words and actions to help African Americans become free from the discrimination from whites. He was a strong civil-rights activist and NOI leader. Starting when he was a child, continuing into his adulthood, and even since his death, Malcolm X used his preaching skills and the Religion of Islam to influence people to break away from racism and discrimination.
These points were met to keep black people on track. In treated drug addiction, a particular plague within the black communities, a social or racial problem, or any other addiction. This just added to the NOI’s success. As a result of all of this publicity, CBS released the documentary “The hate that produced hate”. It was made to produce as much shock as possible because some whites were unaware of this hate. The public wanted to know if young blacks were trained to hate whites. Malcolm was the NOI spokesperson who had to answer the television stations and newspapers. He had scorn for white reporters. Malcolm said “For the white man to ask the black man if he hates him is just like the rapist asking the raped, or the wolf asking the sheep, do you hate me”. These are the type of comments that made Malcolm one of the most prominent speakers in the NOI. He became more agile speaker than Muhammad. His philosophy was associated with whites. He was an advocate for armed self-defense and strongly denounced whites. These beliefs made Malcolm the leading voice in the radicalized wing of the civil rights movement. In the 1960’s Malcolm had an unscheduled meeting with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. He went to see if there was something good about him.
