What was the birth name of Malcolm X?

Never knew a whole lot about him so I read his autobiography. I was not surprised why he said the things he did. preached violence and died violently. I recommend reading his book to anybody. Even Malcolm changed in the end. powerful stuff.

Uninitialized packrat, "preached violence?!?". Where is the violence in advising a people to protect themselves? Is it your argument that the defenders are advocating the use of violence? What about their attackers, is it your contention that the attackers are non-violent murderers?

Dr.Strange, Don't play the "what about?" game.

Uninitialized packrat, "Malcolm X preached Self Defense or Stand your ground defense" there you go I corrected that for you! Your Welcome

An amazing man! His journey is aptly related in Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X” (screenplay based on Alex Haley’s book).

Malcolm X we need more like him the injustice still lives‼️
