X Malcolm X was born as Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska on May 19, 1925 where he was the fourth of seven children born from Earl and Louise Little (Timeline). Malcolm's father was a baptist speaker as well as the local leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). This was a big influence in X's life. Malcolm never forgot his black pride values that he learned from his father and other UNIA leaders. Due to the death of three of Earl Little's brothers being killed by white men and constant threats from the KKK, Little relocated his family in 1926 to Wisconsin and Michigan.
After moving first to Westfield, the family finally settled in Somerville, New Jersey, in 1909, where William Robeson was appointed pastor of St. Thomas AME Zion Church. Robeson experienced both fame and racism during his college years. In trying out for the varsity football team, where blacks were not wanted he encountered physical brutality. In spite of this resistance Robeson not only earned a place on the team but was named first on the roster for the All-American college team. He graduated with 15 letters in sports.

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. extensively. However, the “center right” policies and practices of President Obama’s administration have almost completely turned its back on the three major objects of Dr. King’s wrath, enemies against which he had devoted almost his entire life – e.g. racism, poverty, and war! Again, as I stated in the above, I understand the game President Obama is playing given whom he is trying to appease and the far right of center competition he’ll be facing come the 2012 elections.
It is the home of the free and land of the brave. Yet it seems since these attacks, America has repeatedly failed many of our citizens by not protecting them or them being falsely accused. We must realize that there is a greater picture here. If we are so willing to stray from the rules and laws our country is built upon, doesn’t that make us closer to a bigger evil- the dissolution of our nation and government?
