Why did Malcolm Little changed his name to Malcolm X?

Malcolm X - originally Malcolm Little when he was born in 1925 - changed his name in 1952 after he moved to Chicago. The reason driving his change of name was the fact that he joined the Nation of Islam. African American followers of Mohammed knew that their family names were not their true last names, but a name that had been given to their ancestors when they were shipped as slaves to America - the custom at that time was for white slave owners to give their own last name to their slaves as a sign of ownership. Therefore, Islamist African Americans changed their last names to 'X' as a sign that they repudiated the actions of the former slave owners, and as a mark for 'unknown' since their real family name was not recorded. Later in his life, Malcolm earned the Muslim name El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, after the required hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca.

What impact on society did the flying shuttle have?

The Flying Shuttle was made by an English inventor named John Kay in 1733. It was used for making weaving much faster. Allowing people to make larger looms operated by one person, Using levers and springs to pull the shuttle back. The Flying Shuttle became a very important invention in the textile industry, eventually put one or two shuttle throwers out of a job. The Flying Shuttle did use a lot of yarn and did make the supply of yarn even worse. The invention could produce a large piece of cloth; the invention was thrown by a leaver that could be operated by one weaver. Kay placed shuttle boxes at each side of the loom connected by a long board, known as a shuttle race. A single weaver, using one hand, could cause the shuttle to be moved back and forth across the loom from one shuttle box to the other. Some woollen manufacturers used the Flying Shuttle but did not pay him royalties. Many people from the textile industry were of course very offended and attacked John Kay home and destroyed his invention, because they thought "The Flying Shuttle" was such a successful invention it would have taken work away from them. Many people have tried creating well duplicating his invention but have not really succeeded. Inventions of the revolution in textiles were weaving and spinning while the Flying Shuttle had the scene of mechanical weaving; the spinning frame was also important making the textile industry. John Kay's invention had lead the industrial revolution. Without his Flying Shuttle, there would have been no need for the spinning machines that followed, Like the Spinning Jenny for instance.

What is advertising in contemporary society?

Information has never been more important, and never so completely and readily available to everyone. There is a place for responsible advertising, but the truth is that advertising can strongly and powerfully influence an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Brilliant ad men can tell a nation what is current, desirable and indispensible. They can help indoctrinate the masses into believing that certain positions are preferable to other positions. What will happen when these ad men connect with politicians? As it is, the Supreme Court has cleared the way for Big Business to spend any amount of money they want in order to influence the general public on political matters and the election of public officials. We have become a nation of Big Business, and not of the People. And advertising is the national anthem that we will all be singing. Again, nothing wrong with advertising. But if we don't want to [continue to be] led through the nose, we had better wake up.

How did Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr differ in their leadership in the Civil Rights Movement?

  • Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X are two people on different ends of the scales, with totally different up-bringings.
  • King was brought up by a rich black family,with a good education, and a good chance at life. He was a black aristocrat, and a wealthy man.
  • Malcolm X was brought up in the 'ghetto', and had to learn to defend himself against racist white children. He was deprived of his father, who was found dead, murdered by a white mob. His mother became mentally ill so he was sent to a foster home.
  • Martin Luther King Jr. was an activist during the Civil Rights Movement, who based his ideology on equality for both black people and white people. King wanted integration in society, and worked alongside such Civil Rights groups as the SCLC and CORE
  • Malcolm X was an Islamic Civil Rights activist, who became popular in the mid to late 1960's as a member of Nation of Islam. He and the Nation advocated self-defense and the total economic and political independence of Black America. This was in contrast to King's idea of inter-dependence. But in April 1964 he left the Nation of Islam and made a trip to mecca. Malcolm X said the trip allowed him to see Muslims of different races interacting as equals. He came to believe that Islam could be the means by which racial problems could be overcome.
  • At times those in power were eager to deal with King for fear of having to contend with Malcolm and the forces he represented. However, though initially favored by those in power, things changed once King opposed the War in Vietnam.

What did the Nation of Islam do?

The main belief of The Nation of Islam and its followers is that there is no other God but Allah. The Nation of Islam (NOI) preaches adherence to the Five Pillars of the Islamic Faith. The NOI also teaches morality and personal decorum, emphasizing modesty, mutual respect, and discipline in dress and comportment. NOI adherents stress a healthy diet and physical fitness, do not consume pork, shellfish, oralcohol, and do not use drugs or tobacco.The official beliefs of the Nation of Islam have been outlined in books, documents, and articles published by the organization, as well as speeches by Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Farrakhan, and other ministers. Many of Elijah Muhammad's teachings may be found in Message to the Blackman in America and The True History of Jesus as Taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Though The Nation of Islam claimed they believed in the true teachings and guidelines of Islam, in actual fact everything they did went against the teachings laid down by the Quran (Muslim's holy book) and the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. (peace be upon him)

Thus The Nation of Islam used the name of Islam to justify his immoral cause.
