Malcolm X

Malcolm X was a prominent African American leader and activist who advocated for racial justice and equality in the 1960s. Unlike some who sought integration peacefully, he emphasized Black empowerment, self-defense, and the need for systemic change to combat racism. He criticized both the systemic oppression faced by Black Americans and the passive approaches to civil rights. His journey from a life of crime to a powerful voice for justice highlights the complexities of the fight against inequality. Malcolm X's legacy inspires ongoing discussions about race, social justice, and the importance of standing up against oppression.
