Abstract
The paper discusses how Malcolm X emerged as a black leader in the late 1950s and was assassinated in 1965. The paper relates that his influence was considerable while he was alive and continued after his death. The paper discusses how some see Malcolm X as just as key as Martin Luther King in the development of the Civil Rights Movement, though they took different paths and sought different sorts of change much of the time. The paper points out that King was associated with non-violence and a search for equality, while Malcolm X was associated with a form of black nationalism and with a greater willingness to use violence to achieve that end, though the latter charge is sometimes applied unfairly.

From the Paper
"Of the black militants of the 1960s, none remains so influential as Malcolm X. In many of his writings and speeches, Malcolm X proclaimed that African-Americans would be free only when they made it clear to anyone who sought to anyone who tried to hold them back that they would resist oppression and demand their freedom by any means necessary.

From the Paper
"Despite his status as one of the most controversial figures within the American Civil Rights movement, Malcolm X was, in many ways, a'typical' African American during the time in which he lived. Indeed, it was the very fact that he shared common experiences with the average African American man that inspired Malcolm X's tireless pursuit to empower the African American community and attain a measure of political and economic freedom previously denied to them. Thus it may be argued that despite the radical methods that..."

Abstract
This paper describes in depth the life and ideas of civil rights leader Malcolm X. It explains how he was criticized for his "hate" campaigns against the white race, and shared this theology with the black people, pushing his hatred for whites, in order to provide the blacks a reason and a means to love themselves. The paper argues that Malcolm X would never agree with government programs to aid his black community, instead, he thought blacks should help themselves.

From the Paper
"Malcolm Little was born to Reverend Earl and Louise Little on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska. The Littles worked for unity of black people and believed in self-determination. They raised their children in an environment of ethnic awareness and dignity. Because of their father's preaching of the black cause, they were also raised in an environment of violence that included being harassed, threatened, burned out of their home, and shot at. The ultimate blow came when Malcolm was six, when his father was killed by white racists (Malcolm X - An Islamic Perspective)."

From the Paper
"Malcolm continued to have a great loyalty to Muhammad, even when Muhammad became too old to actively participate in Nation events. Malcolm then became more and more active in the groups decision making processes. It was at this time that Malcolm and Muhammad noticed that have had some differences in ideology. While they both wished to fight for black rights, Muhammad's goal was to create a completely separate black nation-state that would have a different economy and culture than the rest of the country. Malcolm, however, believed that this would only happen if they took care of the poor black people living in ghettos first. Malcolm wanted the group to become more involved with politics and to change America as a whole, rather than just trying to separate black America from white America. These differing philosophies, as well as Malcolm's growing influence led to Muhammad trying to have Malcolm killed. While this was very difficult for Malcolm, it led to another change in philosophy for him."
