On May 19,1929 in Omaha, Nebraska a hero was
born! That hero was named Malcolm Little. In
1929 the Littles moved to Lansing, Michigan.

During the time of living in LansingMr.Little
(Malcolms father) was killed by members of the
K.K.K the Ku Klux Klan. He was cut in two by a
street car his head was also smashed during
this horrendous crime.

Malcolm was an intelligent student who dreamed
of becoming a lawyer. However, his dream was
ruined when his teacher told him it would be
impossible for a Black. So with his dream in
despair he dropped out of school while in 8th
grade.

During this time period of his life Malcolm X
began to steal from all different people. He was
later arrested and was sent to jail on burglary
charges, for 10 years.

While in jail Malcolm met some men that were led
by Ellijah Muhammad who was a muslim. Malcolm X
studied the Muslim religion and decided he liked
it and became a muslim himself. In 1952 Malcolm
X chose to follow in of Muhammads steps.

But unlike Muhammad Malcolm wanted the whole
world to know what he believed in and what he
fought for. He wanted all whites to know he was
there to stop all discrimination for African
Americans.

city Mecca. Where he was honored with the name
El-Hajj Malik El Shabazz

Malcolm X was shot and killed on Febuary 21,
1964. The people who shot were arrested and were
later recognized as members of the Nation Of

will always be known as a leader that helped set
all African Americans from all descrimination.

After Thought

Some people say Malcolm X was a trouble maker.
Others may say he was a man that accomplished
nothing. But I believe Malcolm accomplished many
things. He is a hero in my heart. Whether you
think the same or not. May Malcolm X be an
encouragement to us all!
