Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. It was a difficult time in racial relations and he learned self reliance and black pride from his father. His father died before he was thirteen and his mother was committed to a mental hospital. He lived in foster homes and became involved in criminal activities in Boston and New York. In 1946, Malcolm X went to prison for eight to ten years, where he became a member of the Nation of Islam.
Some see him as a criminal and some see him as a hero. On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated in New York.
