Malcolm X

Question

Malcolm X

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malcolm X belonged to the Nation of Islam for a time, but later left the organization and adopted a more mainstream Islamic stance. He was assassinated by members of the Nation of Islam, but his ideology and teachings continue to influence the struggle for civil rights and equality for African Americans. He did not denounce the Black Panthers, advocated for self-defense if necessary, but did not promote violence as the first or only solution, and ultimately believed in the importance of achieving true integration rather than just desegregation.
