Malcolm X was born May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska, one of eight children of a Baptist Minister and a homemaker. His father was a supporter of Marcus Garveyâ??s â??Back to Africa Movementâ?? and an outspoken black power advocate. This caused bad blood between his father and a white supremacist group. The conflict left the family homeless after their house was burned to the ground and their father died of suspicious circumstances. Malcolm's mother suffered a mental breakdown after the death of her husband and the children was split between foster homes and orphanages.
