Malcolm X turns 100: speech (May 19)

Malcolm X, Los Angeles, May 5, 1962: Who taught you to hate yourself? (full speech)

Heroic American Malcolm X

Malcolm (born Malcolm Little, later becoming el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz) X (May 19, 1925–Feb. 21, 1965) was an African American revolutionary, Muslim minister (a student of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad), and a human rights activist.

He was not necessarily a civil rights activist, however, yet he was nevertheless a prominent figure during the civil rights movement until his assassination in 1965.

If you have no critics, you'll have no success.

A spokesman for the Nation of Islam (NOI) until 1964, after which he left the movement, he was a vocal American advocate for Black empowerment and the promotion of Islam [rather than Christianity] within the African American community.

A controversial figure accused of preaching violent self-defense, Malcolm X is also a celebrated figure within African American and Muslim communities for his pursuit of racial justice. More
