When Malcolm X moved to Boston, he told fellow hustlers he was from Lansing, Michigan. Not knowing where Lansing was, they insisted he was from Detroit. Adding the city with the streak of red Malcolm had in his hair, his nickname was Detroit Red, or just Red, during his days as a hustler.

How did malcolm xs attitudes differ from those of other civil rights leaders?

Malcolm X began his career advocating violence as a means to an end in order to help African Americans attain civil equality, unlike many other leaders who adopted a more passive form of resistance.

Why did Stonewall Jackson get his nickname?

He got his name "Stonewall" because his faith in God made him fearless in battle. At Bull Run, they seen thought they would all die, but he stood there fighting without fear. Some one said he was standing there like a stonewall. He was without fear. I know this because he is my Great Grandfather Xs 4. Though you are right about Jackson being a God fearing man and that he trusted God fully, What i understand was that when he was in the front line with his troops he was giving them encouragement and was holding hand up talking to them and he was shot through the hand and he didnt lower his hand. He stood there to finish his talk with his men and lower his hand, bleeding. His men were amazed by his grit and toughness and named him stonewall. He got the sobriquet "Stonewall" at the First Bull Run battle. As General Bernard Bee's troops were falling back, he saw Jackson's brigade in line of battle at the crest of a ridge, facing the enemy. He shouted, "There stands Jackson like a stone wall! Rally on the Virginians!" The nickname stuck.


What were queens jobs back in the medieval time?

A medieval queen would usually have been a princess married off to a foreign prince. Her primary jobs would be to receive complaints and bear the king sons. However, some queens were devoted to their husbands. Both Eleanor of Aquitane (Queen of France) and Eleanor of Castile (Queen of England) went on crusade with their husbands and some even led rebellions against their own husbands e.g. Isabella of England ordered the murder of her husband and king, Edward II of England
