Malcolm X was famous for enlightening the issues of unequal America during the Civil Rights Movement. He was a lot more aggressive in his approach that Martin Luther King, as he was not afraid in the slightest to use violence.

He was NOT famous for speaking rubbish. His speeches were very intellectual and correct about what was happening at the time, and strove African-American's to stand up for their rights.

Malcolm X was a U.S. black-rights activist and religious leader. Although a human rights activist, he rejected Martin Luther King, Jr.'s non-violent approach and believed in taking any means necessary for black rights. Originally associated with the Nation of Islam (Black Muslims), he broke with that organization after going on Hajj and encountering white people who followed Islam and were not devils.

He was assassinated in 1965 in New York City.

African-American Muslim minister, public speaker, and human rights activist. To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans.His detractors accused him of preaching racism, black supremacy, antisemitism, and violence.[ He has been called one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history, and in 1998, Time named The Autobiography of Malcolm X one of the ten most influential nonfiction books of the 20th century.

Malcolm X's name wasn't always Malcolm X. His original name was Malcolm Little. He considered "Little" a slave name so he had it changed to Malcolm X.

Malcolm decided that his name shouldn't be Malcolm Little because the slave masters gave his family that name. Malcolm added a X to the end of his name as a variable stating "the unknown". Like in mathematics.
