Malcolm was heavily credited with increasing membership in the Nation of Islam from 500 in 1952 to 30,000 in 1963.

He had idea’s and dream’s that no one could replace or

Take away.

Malcolm’s vivid personality had captured the government’s attention, and drove the crowds wild. He had become a media magnet.

**              **He was a very intelligent and articulate person. His words had inspired many people not to judge and to become more open about the situation and helped them to believe in a new way of thinking. The crowd was drawn to his strong use of words. Another adjective I would use would be brave. They had also admired his bravery to speak his opinion in this time, especially being that he was a black man. He had known about the consequences, but he felt that it was the right thing to do.

As said before, he was not afraid to make his opinion about JFK. He had also had to deal with growing up as a less fortunate child. After his mother was declared legally insane and admitted tom a mental hospital, him and his siblings were separated, which made him become a stronger person. He had too also learned from his mistakes. He was arrested and convicted on burglary charges, where he had learned of the Islamic Religion and became the opinionated person that he was now for about the religion.

While in prison, he had found out the theory that blacks might have been Islamic before enslavement. Then he tried and argued that the black nation should “reconvert” back to their native religion. He was born homeless due to the loss of his mother’s home. Which was burnt down by the KKK?** **He had received criticism after posting a comment about the asassinaton of John F. Kennedy. To quote him,” [Kennedy] never foresaw that the chickens would come home to roost so soon.”

This world may have actually become worse. Some people may have not believed in their own opinions. Thus people would not believe that you don’t always have to believe in what people tell you to believe in. Learning form Malcolm X we learn that you should never hold back your opinions. These actions and his ways of thinking had inspired an entire generation to be their own person and to think on a new level of thinking abut situations.
