Best Answer

She suffered from poor mental health following the death of her husband, Earl Little, who was found dead beside a streetcar tack in Lansing, Michigan in September 1931. He was just 41 years old, and is believed to have been murdered by the 'Black Legionnaires', a paramilitary white supremacist organisation strongly linked to the Ku Klux Klan.

His wife Louise suffered a series of nervous breakdowns following his death, and was admitted to the State Mental Hospital at Kalamazoo in 1937, where she remained until '59.

She died in 1991 at the age of 94, still maintaining that Malcolm was murdered on the orders of Louis Farrakhan, and urging that he be prosecuted for ordering her son's death.

You think your mother is a hamster is she really a hamster?

If you are a hamster, then in all likely-hood, your mother is a hamster too. If you are a human, like most of the people who get on this website, then, chances are, your mother is not a hamster. If you do not believe me, go get a DNA test for both of you, then find a good mental hospital.

What was Malcolm X's personality type?

Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little; May 19, 1925 - February 21, 1965), also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was an American Muslim minister, public speaker, and human rights activist. Malcolm X was born in Omaha, Nebraska. By the time he was 13, his father had died and his mother had been committed to a mental hospital. After living in a series of foster homes, Malcolm X became involved in the criminal underworld in Boston and New York. In 1945, Malcolm X was sentenced to eight to ten years in prison. While in prison, Malcolm X became a member of the Nation of Islam. After his parole in 1952, he became one of the Nation's leaders and chief spokesmen. Tension between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, head of the Nation of Islam, led to his departure from the organization in March 1964. After leaving the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X made the pilgrimage, the Hajj, to Mecca and became a Sunni Muslim. He traveled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East. He founded Muslim Mosque, Inc., a religious organization, and the secular, black nationalist Organization of Afro-American Unity. Less than a year after he left the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X was assassinated while giving a speech in New York.
