Malcolm X

Malcolm X (May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965), born Malcolm Little was an African-American Muslim minister and human rights activist. To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of blacks, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans.
