The main person that stopped segregation was Martin Luther king Jr. but there were many other supporting people such as Rosa Parks who didn't give up her seat in a bus for a white man and was taken to jail.

Malcolm X's views were completely different then the typical Civil Rights Activist. Unlike Martin Luther King Jr.'s belief in nonviolence and integration, Malcolm believed that blacks should be separated from whites. That blacks were the superior race and should use any means necessary to defend themselves. He preached of the inherent evil of whites and natural superiority of blacks and even of violence.

Taken from his autobiography written by alex haley: "Anyway, before long, my nickname happened. Just when, I don't know-but people, knowing I was from Michigan, would ask me what city. Since most New Yorkers had never heard of Lansing, I would name Detroit. Gradually, I began to be called "Detroit Red"-and it stuck."

Malcolm X rose up as an important "new voice" for African Americans. He was a leader in the Nation of Islam, usually known as the Black Muslims.

Malcolm X's philosophy was that Black people should try to become economically independent of the White power structure with black businesses and things of that nature.

Equal rights for African Americans

Malcolm X was famous for enlightening the issues of unequal America during the Civil Rights Movement. He was a lot more aggressive in his approach that Martin Luther King, as he was not afraid in the slightest to use violence.

He was NOT famous for speaking rubbish. His speeches were very intellectual and correct about what was happening at the time, and strove African-American's to stand up for their rights.

Malcolm X learned to hate whites from the teachings of Elijah Muhammad from the Black Muslims. They taught that the white man was the devil and that they were the cause of all black troubles. Malcolm later rejected this idea after a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Malcolm's X dad was killed by the KKK all because he was a strong, and powerful man that didn't want to back down to the KKK members. He's Quote that the said was " Im a man!" "Im a man!" So, they beat him to death then put him on the train tracks. Then waited for the train to come, and the train crushed him to death. =(

Im not sure what happened to his mother.

He wanted to preach separitism in the beginning when he was with the Muslim mosque, but found out that Elijah Muhammad was a fraud and did not father his children. once he returned from his pilgrimage to mecca he realised that all people can live together no matter what race, skin colour or whatever, we can all live in peace and that is the legacy that he leaves behind, everybody living together in peace.

Nation of Islam

Malcolm X had both a positive and a negative effect on society. Positively, he inspired many African-Americans to fight racism proactively. He offered an alternative to Martin Luther King's message of non-violence and pacifism. Many people think that Malcolm X promoted violence and this was not the case. More than anything, he was a proponent of self-defense. Negatively he has been portrayed as violent and racist. Since he did not preach non-violence, he was often seen as Martin Luther King's opposition; he was seen as a pro-violent person instead of a teacher of self-defense. To this day, he is portrayed as a hate-monger and has not enjoyed the popularity of many of his civil-rights contemporaries

One of the objectives of the Civil Rights Movement was to shed light on and address unfair discriminatory practices. Malcolm X (if nothing else) shed light on many deplorable conditions faced by people of African descent. When Malcolm X was featured in a year long television special with Mike Helen Mae Wallace in 1959 he most certainly shed light on unfair discriminatory practices. While it is not possible to accurately measure his impact, it is fair to say that he impacted the Civil Rights movement by helping to expose discriminatory practices which ultimately led to significant changes in what the legal system declared unlawful.

For example, a number of laws were put into place that had a significant impact on the lives and civil rights something of Black power people. For instance, from 1959-1965, sixteen states passed fair housing laws that prohibited racial, religious, and national origin discrimination in various sectors of the private housing market. In 1954 the US Supreme Court in Brown woods Washington v. Board of Education declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional, nullifying the earlier judicial doctrine of "separate but equal." In 1965 President Johnson signed the US Voting Rights Act of 1965. This act prohibited literacy tests and poll taxes which had been used to prevent blacks from voting.

In closing not only did Malcolm X impact the Civil Rights Movement by helping to implement laws, he also made America look at how existing laws were routinely ignored. For instance, in numerous speeches, Malcolm X reminded the nation that there were laws that prohibited lynching, raping and killing, yet as he pointed out such laws were routinely un-enforced such as was the 1955 murder of Emmett Till (14 years of age), along with his cousin Curtis Jones (17 years of age) and countless others.

He played basketball in junior high. He talks about how he experienced racism in his autobiography when traveling to visit small, rural Michigan towns playing basketball. He also played football his freshman year of high school in Mason, MI.

He is still alive. Correct me if I'm wrong.

One of the major point of conflict during the Reconstruction was that of the electoral rights of blacks. Almost all white Southerners were determined to prevent them from obtaining decisive electoral power of even any power at all. Andrew Johnson's more or less open attitude to back his white countrymen led the President and the Congress to get at loggerheads. When the Fourteenth Amendment was promulgated by the Congress, Johnson urged the Southern States not to ratify it, if it were to become law. That was of no avails, because the amendment became law. But the Congress was so outraged for the presidential opposition that in March 1867 it passed the Reconstruction Act, which was a diktat imposing to the South its version of the postwar settlement. The former Confederate States ,short of Tennessee, were grouped into five military districts, each ruled by a military governor. The states have to set up conventions in order to amend their Constitution so as to conform with the Constitution of the United States, including the Fourteenth Amendment. After carrying out these stages, the states could be readmitted to the Union and to be represented in the Congress.

Malcolm X, as many people know, got into various illegal activities in his earlier life. Just for the purpose of research, were any of his crimes talked about in the media, in for example a news article, before he became famous for his campaigning? If so, what proof do we have? (sauce please)
