Malcolm X was an American Muslim minister and human rights activist who
was a popular figure during the civil rights movement.
Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska.
His mother, Louise Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the
family's eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken
Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus
Garvey. Earl's civil rights activism prompted death threats from the
white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to
relocate twice before Malcolm's fourth birthday.
