Brother Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little, later El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965) was a prominent African-American, Pan African, Muslim minister, human rights activist, and revolutionary leader. He became one of the most influential and controversial figures of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, advocating for Black empowerment, self-determination, and resistance against systemic racism. Known for his eloquence and fiery rhetoric, Malcolm X challenged the status quo and inspired millions with his call for justice and equality.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Malcolm’s early life was shaped by racial violence, poverty, and the tragic loss of his father, a follower of Marcus Garvey. After a troubled youth and time in prison, he joined the Nation of Islam (NOI), where he rose to prominence as a minister and spokesperson. During this period, Malcolm advocated for Black nationalism, separatism, and self-defense against racial oppression. His speeches, writings, and leadership gained him international attention, as he condemned white supremacy and urged African Americans to reclaim their cultural heritage and pride.

Malcolm X's Pan-Africanist beliefs became a central focus after his break from the Nation of Islam in 1964. His pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) transformed his perspective, leading him to embrace Sunni Islam and the notion of global solidarity among oppressed peoples. He founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), modelled after the Pan-Africanist ideals of leaders like Kwame Nkrumah and Julius Nyerere and Malcolm called for unity among African nations and the African diaspora to combat colonialism, racism, and exploitation.

Malcolm X’s advocacy extended beyond the United States as he linked the struggles of African Americans to global liberation movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He inspired revolutionary thought and action worldwide, emphasizing the importance of self-reliance, cultural pride, and resistance to oppression.

Tragically, Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, in New York City. His legacy as a fearless leader and Pan-Africanist visionary continues to resonate, influencing movements for social justice and liberation globally.
