Malcolm X **



Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925. He grew up in Omaha, Nebraska but didn't stay there his whole life.

Malcolm grew up smart and independent. He was at the top of his class when he graduated Junior high but one of his favorite teachers told him he couldnt be what he wanted to because of the color of his skin, causing him to drop out.

Early life (3-4 sentences)

** What they did to impact the Civil Rights Movement? **​

Malcolm X spoke out over whites because they tried saying that his real name was Malcolm Little and he refused to say that it was his name. He changed his last name to X, to represent that his real name was forgotten. At first, he wanted the idea of a segregated america. He wanted an area of america just for black people, not half black and half white in one area. He adventually discovered that whites and Blacks could be together but soon after sharing his change of thought, he was killed.

**On a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high), how important do you think this person was to the movement?**

I think that Malcolm was a 7 because he saw that White and Black people could live and be together without the fighting, judging, and racism. I think that he has so much pride that he even refused to have the white name that was givin to him. A lot of people today even look up to him.
