Emerging as Malcolm X, he became a dynamic orator and leader, advocating for Black nationalism and self-defense in the face of systemic oppression.
His radical stance often contrasted with the nonviolent approach of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. As Malcolm’s fame grew, so did tensions within the Nation of Islam. Eventually, he split from the Nation, seeking a more inclusive and global vision for justice.
