When Malcolm Little was in the womb, members of the Ku Klux Klan broke all the windows in his family’s home in Omaha, Nebraska. The reasoning for this, is because Malcolm’s father, Earl Little, was a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which supported the idea of American blacks going back to Africa, which made white supremacists very irritated. While living in Omaha was stressful for the Little family, they get up and move to Lansing, Michigan in 1929. Unfortunately, another white supremacist group burns down their house. While watching his house burn down, Malcolm explains, “The white police and firemen came and stood around watching as the house burned down to the ground.” This just
He graduated from high school at 15, and went to Morehouse and received not only his Bachelors in Divinity, but a Doctorate of Ph.D. Shortly after that he moved to Montgomery, Alabama, and got ordained as a minister. Malcolm X was born into a very poverty stricken household being that he had nine brothers and sisters, and three of his brothers died at the hands of white men. The Ku Klux Klan also lynched his uncle, and murdered his father when he was quite young. After all of that personal trauma Malcolm’s mother suffered a nervous breakdown, and was committed to an institution; which forced her children into foster care.
sMalcom X versus Martin Luther King Emily Voutes Malcolm X (1925-1965): Even his own name is a stab to the opinions of prejudice white folks during his era. This is true because his own, self declared last name "X" represents "the rejection of slave-names” and the absence of an inherited African name to take its place." Meaning that he was prepared to create a personal identity that represented himself and his race, and not a name that a white man forced upon him. Though they had similar characteristics and morals; his approach to the civil rights movement compared to the strategies of other civil rights leaders of his time, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. differed greatly. Rather than trying to integrate the black community into the white, Malcom X focused on the complete separation of the two races.
Malcolm X vs. Dr. King “The Ballot or the Bullet” Malcolm X rejects the actions of the white without any attempts to appeal to. Rather than trying to integrate the black community into the white, he focuses on the complete separation of them he doesn't want the blacks to integrate into the white hotels he wants blacks to own the hotels. He believed that the black population had to break the cultural, economic, and political dependency. Malcolm X attacks the tendency of African-Americans to identify with White America and insists they identify instead with Africans, their ancestors. Malcolm X begins breaking down the bridge between Black and White America at the beginning of the speech, phrasing his sentences in such a way as to convince his audience of the fact that your place of residence does not determine who you are, and therefore blacks shouldn't identify with White America.
D as well. After his educational exploits, at age 24, King moved to Montgomery, Alabama, to become a Pastor at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Conversely, Malcolm X was born into a very poor and deprived home, which is affirmed by his official website. Malcolm had nine brothers and sisters, three brothers having died violently at the hands of white men. The Ku Klux Klan lynched Malcolm’s uncle and killed his father before he was six years old.
The Rise and Fall of Malcolm X Malcolm Little later known as Malcolm X was born May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska and raised by Father Earl little and mother Louise Norton Little. Malcolm’s father, Earl Little was a Baptist Minister and civil rights activist. Malcolm’s mother, Louise was a homemaker occupied with 8 children. Earl Little’s civil rights actions led to death threats from the white supremacy group the Black Legions forcing Malcolm’s family to move twice before Malcolm’s fourth birthday. In 1931 Earl little’s body was found lying across train tracks with the back of his head smashed in.
What actually is the right way to approach ‘moving on’? It would seem it is engraved in human nature to be selfish and seek revenge, but what does that really lead to? In Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, for instance, King suggests a brotherhood between blacks and whites rather than dwelling on an unequal past. Suu Kyi even illustrates in John Pilger’s, “Icon of Hope” interview, that the people of Burma cannot progress without a degree of openness to diminish a lack of trust with one another. Chiefly, Mandela’s “Inauguration Speech” suggests that everyone is apart of each other, thus proving there needs to be harmony in a relationship of grievance.
Thus, they were officially denied every opportunity for an education in the slave states, while in the free states they were largely excluded from the schools for whites and were given only that training deemed suitable for their inferior status. Indeed, in many places in the North their exclusion from educational opportunities was as complete as it was in the South.”(pg. 78,79) Clearly blacks were deeply encouraged to forgo any hopes of a education in America.
