Malcolm X was a prominent African American leader and activist in the 1960s, known for advocating for Black empowerment, racial justice, and self-defense. He initially promoted the ideals of Black pride and independence, often challenging the mainstream civil rights movement’s emphasis on integration. Malcolm X emphasized the importance of racial identity and economic self-sufficiency, and he was a powerful orator who encouraged Black communities to stand up against oppression. His ideas evolved over time, becoming more inclusive, especially after his pilgrimage to Mecca. Malcolm X remains a significant figure in American history for his advocacy of Black rights and social justice.
