A Leader ... A Father ... A Protector ...


Strength - Malcolm X was more than a political public figure, he was a father of 6.  
Malcolm X standing tall at 6'4 with a whole lot to say. He wasn't afraid to stand firm In his convictions. He was born May 19, 1925 / February 21, 1965. His birth name was Malcolm Little. He was an American Muslim minister and a human rights activist. To his admirers he was a courageous advocate for the rights of blacks, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans; detractors accused him of preaching racism and violence. He has been called one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history.

In February 1965 he was assassinated by three Nation of Islam members. The Autobiography of Malcolm X, published shortly after his death, is considered one of the most influential nonfiction books of the 20th century. A tragic ending at the tender age of 39.
