Remembering Malcolm X 55 Years Later

Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little, was a prominent figure in the civil rights movement, known for his advocacy for Black empowerment and criticism of systemic racism. After converting to Islam and joining the Nation of Islam, he became a national spokesman. His activism drew criticism, leading to a break with the Nation of Islam and a pilgrimage to Mecca, which reshaped his views on civil rights. He was assassinated in 1965, and his legacy continues to inspire activism and scholarship. Recent developments suggest a potential re-investigation into his death.
