Out of the three types of government there is; Dictatorship, Monarchy, and Democracy. Democracy is where the citizens of the country vote for their leader. Monarchy's, means there is a King or Queen, and rules the land (its hereditary).

Why should Malcolm x be remembered?
The fame of Malcolm X stems arguably from his outspoken and extremely critical stance regarding the treatment of blacks, primarily in the U.S. His indictment of America was fierce, and he was accused of inciting violence. He was a brilliant man, but plagued by inconsistency and irrationality.
Though he was a member of the Nation of Islam, he "butted heads" with leadership there and left that organization. After conversion to become a Sunni Muslim, a hajj and bit of travel, principally to sites in the Middle East and Africa, he returned to the U.S. and continued to lambaste America for the problems faced by blacks. He was assassinated by blacks who were alleged to have ties to the Nation of Islam about a year after his departure from that organization. More than one prominent black leader suggested "he got what he preached" after he was killed. A link can be found below.

Other answers:
- Malcom X was for the blacks and was against racism and was trying to get black people the right to have rights
- proberly cause he stopped racism and all of the other things as well. Given the variables of racism then and its existence presently.One would think Malcolm X failed in stopping the advocation of racism. He simply pulled the cover off the instituions that were responisible for the conditions plaguing people of color.It's ironic how in school we are taught to accept the American revolution as a great act,while in the same breath Malcolm's cry for a revolution against racist institutions was wrong.What Malcolm did stop,was black people from believing that they had no voice,or power to challenge the power structure.More importantly he taught that 0who you are is defined in your ability to become educated and come together as a people first.

Who burned down the Library of Alexandria?
Under pagan Roman Emperor Aurelian, in A.D. 272, the greater part of the Brucheion was destroyed, and it is most probable that the library perished at this time, though Caesar had probably burnt some books for fuel being transferred to Rome earlier.
The small library in the Serapeum is supposed to have perished when the temple of Serapis was destroyed by Bishop Theophilus, but there is no definite statement to that effect.

When did Malcolm X join the Civil Rights Movement?
Malcolm X was, at one time, the spokesman for the Nation of Islam. His views were far different than Martin Luther King Jr., who stressed and stayed on a path of nonviolence. Malcolm called for militancy instead of passivity, and appealed to those who felt that in the struggle for freedom, one must use any means necessary to reach their goal. Upon a pilgrimage to Mecca, Malcolm became disillusioned with the view of Islam that was being expressed by the Nation of Islam, and gravitated more toward traditional Islam. Like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X was murdered during a speaking engagement in New York City.
