How did Malcolm X influence others?
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.
Did Malcolm X play any sports?

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.
