Malcolm X (1925-1965) raised the social and political awareness of African-Americans, at a time when the concept of racial equality was still being violently resisted. He proposed black supremacy in the face of de facto white supremacy.

Malcolm X did not believe that blacks (African-Americans) could or should depend upon whites to regain the rights that blacks had been deprived of. He also believed that Islam provided a valuable alternative to Christian denominations, at least as it was interpreted by the predominant Black Muslim group (the Nation of Islam). He endorsed separatism rather than integration as a means for African-Americans to exert their political power, not to ask for but to demand change.
