Malcolm Little was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha,
Nebraska. He had 8 sibling's.His dad died when he was 12. His
mom had a break down. He went to college. He was the first
one to graduate. Malcolm Little dropped Little and made X his
last name.

3. He became a militant leader. Malcolm x went
to jail 5 times. he tried to read every thing he
could in jail. Malcolm x had a mentor, Elijah
Muhammad that helped him be a leader. Then
on February 21, 1965 (aged 39) He died. he
got shot 15 times. Malcolm x was a hero
because he fought for black peoples rights.
Malcolm x fought for religious freedom
for black people. White people threw a
fire grenade at his house. His family was
not harmed. many people wanted to harm
him. I chose him because I look up to the
way he wanted all people to be free.
