Remembering Civil Rights Giant Malcolm X 50 Years After His Assassination

The controversial activist, who inspired many and infuriated others, was gunned down Feb. 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights

Malcolm X remains a polarizing figure 50 years after he was assassinated.

Harlem was ready to explode.

It was just before midnight on April 26, 1957, and at least 4,000 protesters were massed outside the 28th Precinct stationhouse on Eighth Ave.

Hours earlier, 32-year-old Johnson Hinton and two friends had been walking along W. 125th St. when they spotted two cops beating another black man with nightsticks.

“You’re not in Alabama!” yelled Hinton and his pals. “This is New York!”

The officers turned their nightsticks on Hinton, a member of the Nation of Islam, delivering several crushing blows to his head and face.\

Hinton, despite suffering lacerations on his scalp and bleeding on the brain, was now being held inside the four-story, red-brick 28th Precinct police station.

The crowd was growing impatient. A race riot seemed imminent.

A ripple of excitement swept through the crush of people when a 6-foot-3 man in a black suit and spectacles showed up and strode inside the station-house. The demonstrators, many of whom were Nation of Islam members, knew exactly who he was.

Malcolm X.

The fiery head of the Nation’s new Harlem mosque, Malcolm was allowed to see Hinton. But the cops refused to return the battered man to the hospital.


Malcolm, sensing an impasse, stepped outside the stationhouse and flashed a hand signal to his Nation of Islam followers. They immediately started marching off — silent and stern — like an Army battalion having just received orders from their general.

The rest of the crowd followed.

A group of NYPD cops watched the scene in awe.

“No one man should have that much power,” one officer told Amsterdam News editor James Hicks.

Hinton was released in the morning — after the Nation paid his $2,500 bail — and taken to Harlem Hospital.

The striking show of force introduced the nation to Malcolm X.

Incendiary, influential and often polarizing, Malcolm led the black nationalist movement with a clenched fist and biting tongue.

His rejection of integration and insistence on black liberation “by any means necessary” made him a hero to large swaths of black people.

To many others, he was seen as a villain and a menace. The militant, anti-establishment rhetoric Malcolm preached sent shivers of fear down the spines of many whites and alarmed some African-Americans.

“Other black leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King included, all engaged in tailoring their language to minimize negative reactions from white America,” said Russell Adams, professor emeritus of African-American studies at Howard University. “Malcolm said in his fashion what many blacks thought and said among themselves.”

Fifty years after his assassination, Malcolm X remains one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century.

His short, turbulent life was marked by a series of remarkable transformations.

He was a pot-smoking, skirt-chasing criminal in his teens — only to reinvent himself in prison as a self-taught intellectual and deeply committed Muslim and disciple of Elijah Muhammad.

He called for racial separation and cast whites as “devils” — only to renounce the Nation of Islam years later and champion “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people.”

Like the man, the public perception of Malcolm has also undergone a transformation.

Once viewed as a racist demagogue, Malcolm is now viewed by many as an American icon. His face even adorns a postage stamp.

How Malcolm rose from a troubled orphan to a leading civil rights figure is one of history’s more unlikely stories.

His childhood was marred by tragedy. He was born Malcolm Little in Omaha on May 19, 1925 – the fourth of Earl and Louise Little’s seven children.

Earl, an outspoken Baptist minister, served as chapter president for Marcus Garvey’s black nationalism organization. Louise worked as the chapter secretary.

The Littles settled on a piece of farmland in a mostly white neighborhood in Lansing, Mich.

The neighbors were not pleased with the new arrivals. In 1929, months after they arrived, the Littles’ house was burned to the ground by a group of white men.

Earl moved his family to East Lansing.

One day in late September 1931, he left home and never came back. The 41-year-old father’s battered body was found underneath a streetcar in what the police ruled was an accident.

Malcolm, along with his other family members, became convinced that Earl was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan.

Following Earl’s sudden death, Louise struggled to provide for the family — and began to deteriorate physically and mentally.

In December of 1938, Louise was diagnosed as mentally ill and sent to a psychiatric hospital, where she’d remain for the next 26 years.

Malcolm ended up at juvenile home in Mason, Mich. Despite his troubled upbringing, Malcolm excelled in school.

The Role of the Environment and Health In the End Times

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU2i90Texvg

Malcolm with daughters Qubilah (left) and Attilah Shabazz in 1962.

But a chat with an eighth-grade English teacher led him to drop out. Malcolm had told him he dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

"A lawyer?” Malcolm’s teacher replied. “That's no realistic goal for a n----r.”

Malcolm moved to Boston to live with his half-sister, Ella. He worked a series of odd jobs – on the railroad, at shoeshine stands, and in nightclubs – but couldn’t resist the pull of street life.

Malcolm bought his first “zoot suit” and “conked” his hair. His first transformation was complete: He was now a full-time hustler.

In Boston, Malcolm was known as “New York Red” for his distinctive red hair. When he traveled to New York in search of easy scores, they called him “Detroit Red.”

He had a blonde girlfriend, a wardrobe of fancy clothes and a knack for getting people whatever it was they wanted – mainly drugs, booze and girls.

“He’d get money from the women for bringing in the customer and he’d get money from the customer for taking him to the women,” Malcolm’s nephew, Rodnell Collins, said. “That was what he did. That was his hustle.”

Malcolm’s life of crime came to an abrupt end in January of 1946. The previous month, he and a motley crew of misfits launched a burglary spree in Boston.

The crew – which included his hustler pal Malcolm “Shorty” Jarvis, his white girlfriend and two of her friends – was busted after Malcolm tried to buy back a $1,000 watch from a pawnshop.

The white women received slaps on the wrist. Malcolm and “Shorty” were sentenced to eight to 10 years behind bars.

Prison would prove to be Malcolm’s salvation.

While locked up in Massachusetts, he met the man who would change his life – a former burglar named John Elton Bembry.

Bembry’s intellect inspired Malcolm. He started devouring books and memorized all the words in a prison dictionary.

In 1948, his brother Philbert sent him a letter saying the family had converted to Islam. Malcolm began corresponding with Elijah Muhammad.

Towards the end of his term, Malcolm had developed into a dazzling speaker and devoted Muslim.

“I don’t think anybody ever got more out of going to prison than I did,” he would say later.

Malcolm, after six and half years in prison, was paroled in August of 1952. He was accepted into the Nation of Islam a month later. Malcolm X was born.

His talent as an orator made him a master recruiter. He was sent up and down the East Coast, preaching a message of black empowerment and articulating the frustration of poor and working class African Americans in a way no one had done before.

“Stop sweet-talking (the white man),” Malcolm said. “Tell him how you feel. Tell him how — what kind of hell you've been catching and let him know that if he's not ready to clean his house up, he shouldn't have a house. It should catch on fire and burn down.”

Membership in the Nation began to soar – and in June 1954 Malcolm was sent to New York to run Harlem’s Mosque No. 7.

It was there that he met his future wife Betty Sanders. They would go on to have six daughters but their courtship was anything but conventional: Malcolm proposed from a payphone at a Detroit gas station.

Throughout the late 1950s, his influence grew. His aggressive oratory conflicted with the message of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The goal of Dr. Martin Luther King is to give Negroes a chance to sit in a segregated restaurant beside the same white man who had brutalized them for 400 years,” Malcolm said in a TV interview.

In New York, Malcolm X stood on street corners and preached to anyone who would listen. On a sultry June day in 1962, a recent Manhattan transplant named Peter Bailey happened to come upon one of Malcolm’s open-air sermons.

“He was the first person I ever heard in my life who talked as much about the psychological attacks of white supremacy as the physical attacks,” said Bailey, now 76.

“By the time he finished, I was a Malcolm-ite.”

By then, Malcolm had built the Nation of Islam into a potent force with more than 50,000 members. But his bond with Elijah Muhammad started coming undone by the end of the year.

Malcolm’s unflinching devotion to Muhammad was shaken when he learned the Nation of Islam founder had committed adultery with several secretaries.

The divide between the two men widened in late 1963 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Malcolm, defying Muhammad’s order to stay mum on Kennedy’s death, called the killing a case of “the chickens coming home to roost.”

Muhammad’s response was swift and severe: Malcolm was removed as minister of Harlem Mosque No. 7 and ordered to remain silent for 90 days.

Tensions grew worse as Muhammad feared Malcolm was going to form a new group with his budding protégé, Cassius Clay.

In March 1964, Malcolm officially left the Nation and vowed to build a “politically oriented black nationalist party.”

For Malcolm’s close observers, his departure from the Nation wasn’t a total surprise. While Muhammad instructed his followers to ignore the political structure, Malcolm had slowly started to believe civic engagement was vital in reversing the plight of blacks.

“It's going to be the ballot or the bullet,” he said in one of his most famous speeches.

But now, Malcolm was publicly denouncing Muhammad as an adulterer and building a rival organization. Such attacks on the Nation, Malcolm knew, had put his life in danger.

Malcolm, shortly after his famed “Ballot or the Bullet” speech, left the country for a five-week tour of the Middle East and Africa. It was after he completed a pilgrimage to Mecca that he underwent his final transformation.

Malcolm returned to the U.S. with a new name – El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz – a new faith – orthodox Islam – and a new mission – to become an international champion for human rights.

He urged whites and blacks to “sit down at the same table” and “take an intelligent approach to getting the problem solved."

It was a remarkable shift for a man who once said: “History fails to record one single instance in which the white man – as a people – did good.

They have always been devils; they always will be devils, and they are about to be destroyed.”

Malcolm’s new outlook did nothing to stem the Nation’s fury.

His home in East Elmhurst, Queens, was firebombed on Feb. 14, 1965 – an attack that nearly killed pregnant Betty and their four daughters.

Malcolm sent his family to live with close friend Tom Wallace, the brother of actress Ruby Dee, at his home in Queens.

On the night of Feb. 20, Malcolm dropped off Betty at Wallace’s place and stayed for several hours. It was close to midnight when Malcolm, his older half-sister Ella Collins and his nephew Rodnell Collins piled into his Oldsmobile for a private talk.

Malcolm was set to address a meeting of his new group – the Organization of Afro-American Unity – the next day at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights.

“There were things in the air,” Rodnell Collins, now 70, said.

“We really didn’t want him to go and speak the next day, but Uncle Malcolm wanted to address the believers and the community and he was just not going to turn away.”

Ella, Rodnell recalled, was pleading with Malcolm to come with her to Boston to get away from the dangers in New York.

“He had said to my mom, ‘If I run, What would I look like running from my children? What would they think of their father?’’” Rodnell recalled.

The conversation ended in the early morning hours of Feb. 21. Rodnell never saw his uncle again.

Malcolm was shot dead at the Audubon Ballroom moments after he took the stage. He was 39.

Three men were arrested in the slaying – all Nation of Islam members – but the mystery over who else was involved and who orchestrated the assassination has persisted.

At Malcolm’s funeral in Harlem, actor Ossie Davis eulogized the man he called “our shining prince.”

“They will say that he is of hate — a fanatic, a racist—who can only bring evil to the cause for which you struggle,” Davis said. “And we will answer and say to them: Did you ever talk to Brother Malcolm? Did you ever touch him, or have him smile at you?”

“Did you ever really listen to him? Did he ever do a mean thing? Was he ever himself associated with violence or any public disturbance? For if you did, you would know him. And if you knew him, you would know why we must honor him.”

Even 50 years ago, it was clear Malcolm was leaving behind a complicated legacy. But one thing beyond dispute was his bravery.

Malcolm never relented in his fight for equal rights – even when the threat of death was staring him in the eyes.\

“It is a time for martyrs now, and if I am to be one, it will be for the cause of brotherhood,” Malcolm said two days before his assassination. “That’s the only thing that can save this country.”

Malcolm X: A role model for today's youth (2015)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me2j9rsAwVM

[size=15pt]Malcolm X: self-discipline, self-respect, love of his race[/size]

To many of us, Brother Malcolm was a hero of liberation for oppressed and exploited people, not only here in the United States of America, but all over the world. As a human rights warrior, his message was not only clear, it was prophetic. For millions of people, he was a special kind of emancipator and role model for manhood, dignity and freedom.

Responding to the dynamic program of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Nation of Islam, Malcolm studied and advanced to become the group's national spokesman. Across this country, Malcolm took the strong message of self-respect, cultural pride and economic development. He was a rare genius, a gifted leader who built his movement with those whom society had traditionally rejected. Malcolm preached a gospel of black separatism that was premised on black self-love. Since the white folks don't love you, he said, love yourselves.

Today it seems we still don't love, care about or respect people who look like us. As Malcolm said, this is due to ignorance and greed. And a skillfully designed program of miseducation that goes right along with the American system of exploitation and oppression.

Malcolm X spoke truth to the powerfiul and powerless. It was his appeal to the constituency of the rejected that upset bourgeois Negro leaders and challenged the sway of white intimidation in black America. He boldly amplified the voice of angry, urban-center blacks. Malcolm plainly and eloquently said what was on his mind.

At his best, he was a fireball but not a bigot. Most white Americans and some black Americans were not used to hearing the unfiltered and justifiable anger of African Americans toward the U.S. style of racial apartheid, called "de jure segregation," and social injustice.

They mistook Malcolm for a demagogue; most black folks took him for a hero. Regardless of the criticism of Brother Malcolm's ideology, theology or criminality, what is more important is his metamorphosis from negative to positive behavior. He underwent a psychological and cultural transformation to become a symbol of self-discipline, self-esteem and self-determination.

At critical stages during childhood and adolescence, racist forces prevailed upon Malcolm and his family to either weaken or strengthen their resolve to succeed in an oppressive society. Clearly, this is a typical re-enactment of what occurs in the majority of African-American families across this city and country.

Today, African-Americans have another burden to add to racist forces?"our own "black weapons of mass destruction" in the form of most of our local political leaders and some faith-based-initiative church preachers.

Growing up black and poor in America is the epitome of stressful exposure. Just like young Malcolm Little chose a path of delinquency and crime, many, many black youth today are falling prey to these same evils. Today, our criminal justice system, which is criminal, is devouring black youths at an accelerating rate and either swallows them whole or regurgitates them back onto the streets as recidivists, because ex-offenders can't find jobs. Some of the jobs available to them, state laws prohibit them from working on. In my opinion, ex-offenders are becoming "jobless untouchables," especially young black males. Companies, including Wal-Mart, will hire Latino ex-offenders over a non-offender black male.

Minister Malcolm X, however, made the transformation with a quest for knowledge resulting in wisdom and scholarship. He read incessantly, debated fiercely and expanded his world view through his love of the written and spoken word. Confined youth today should follow Malcolm's example.

In addition to becoming a courageous advocate for oppressed people, Malcolm was a dedicated husband and father. Even after his untimely death, he still represents the apex of social consciousness and black manhood.

Actually, Malcolm represents the best in all of us, the potential for achieving excellence in mind, body and soul. He is worthy of our praise from international recognition to his profound respect for faith, honesty, vision, courage and personal sacrifice. His voice and intellect stirred thousands. Now his legacy continues to inspire all who seek social empowerment through education and perseverance.

"Education is our passport to freedom, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today," said Malcolm X. This is something the "Hip-Hop" generation can smile and rap about.

Malcolm In Africa and his last days

Letter from Lagos
Malcolm X

After April, 1964

Each place I have visited, they have insisted that I don't leave. Thus I have been forced to stay longer than I originally intended in each country. In the Muslim world they loved me once they learned I was an American Muslim, and here in Africa they love me as soon as they learn that I am Malcolm X of the militant American Muslims. Africans in general and Muslims in particular love militancy.

I hope that my Hajj to the Holy City of Mecca will officially establish the religious affiliation of the Muslim Mosque, Inc., with the 750 million Muslims of the world of Islam once and for all -- and that my warm reception here in Africa will forever repudiate the American white man's propaganda that the black man in Africa is not interested in the plight of the black man in America.

The Muslim world is forced to concern itself, from the moral point of view in its own religious concepts, with the fact that our plight clearly involves the violation of our human rights.

The Koran compels the Muslim world to take a stand on the side of those whose human rights are being violated, no matter what the religious persuasion of the victims is. Islam is a religion which concerns itself with the human rights of all mankind, despite race, color, or creed. It recognizes all (everyone) as part of one human family.

Here in Africa, the 22 million American blacks are looked upon as the long-lost brothers of Africa. Our people here are interested in every aspect of our plight, and they study our struggle for freedom from every angle. Despite Western propaganda to the contrary, our African brothers and sisters love us, and are happy to learn that we also are awakening from our long "sleep" and are developing strong love for them.


Letter from Accra
Malcolm X

After April, 1964

I arrived in Accra yesterday from Lagos, Nigeria. The natural beauty and wealth of Nigeria and its people are indescribable. It is full of Americans and other whites who are well aware of its untapped natural resources. The same whites, who spit in the faces of blacks in America and sic their police dogs upon us to keep us from "integrating" with them, are seen throughout Africa, bowing, grinning and smiling in an effort to "integrate" with the Africans -- they want to "integrate" into Africa's wealth and beauty. This is ironical.

This continent has such great fertility and the soil is so profusely vegetated that with modern agricultural methods it could easily become the "breadbasket" of the world.

I spoke at Ibadan University in Nigeria, Friday night, and gave the true picture of our plight in America, and of the necessity of the independent African nations helping us bring our case before the United Nations. The reception of the students was tremendous. They made me an honorary member of the "Muslim Students Society of Nigeria," and renamed me "Omowale," which means "the child has come home" in the Yoruba language.

The people of Nigeria are strongly concerned with the problems of their African brothers in America, but the U.S. information agencies in Africa create the impression that progress is being made and the problem is being solved. Upon close study, one can easily see a gigantic design to keep Africans here and the African-Americans from getting together. An African official told me, "When one combines the number of peoples of African descent in South, Central and North America, they total well over 80 million. One can easily understand the attempts to keep the Africans from ever uniting with the African-Americans." Unity between the Africans of the West and the Africans of the fatherland will well change the course of history.

Being in Ghana now, the fountainhead of Pan-Africanism, the last days of my tour should be intensely interesting and enlightening.

Just as the American Jew is in harmony (politically, economically and culturally) with world Jewry, it is time for all African-Americans to become an integral part of the world's Pan-Africanists, and even though we might remain in America physically while fighting for the benefits the Constitution guarantees us, we must "return" to Africa philosophically and culturally and develop a working unity in the framework of Pan-Africanism.

Informative!!

You need to read his autobiography, he also had words about Nigeria, he visited once around the time Muhammad Ali was also here.

May Allah forgive him and elevate his status.

Yes, I did actually. And i have added his speech up there. Don't know why i left that out. Amin to your dua.

Malcolm X formerly known as Malcolm little was/is many things to many people.

To the Muslim community where he made his name he's a brother.

To the imperialist and racist white he was a Blackman with a loud mouth sayings things that are offensive to their domineering nature and zero respect for the Blackman.

To ordinary African-American on the streets of New York and far he was a voice that spoke their pains .

To the Arabs he was a shy Blackman with a great oratory.

And to the oppressed and relegated African countries under colonial rule and Western stranglehold he was one Blackman that looked the oppressor in the face and said enough is enough of these oppression of my people but unfortunately he was killed by a Blackman, his mentor with a lot of fanatical Islamic followers with a cult-like followership and his name is Mohamed Elijah.

He did his bit, which was by no means a bit. May Allah increase His mercy on him. We never know when our time is up, that's why we should always live as if it was our last day.

JazakAllah Khairan for bringing him to our memories once more!

I didn't listen past 1 min 19 secs, He started with lies, he will probably continue and finish the entire video with lies.
It was not 1935, its 1931
Elijah Muhammad greatly emphasized on the hereafter as real and what must be expected as oppose to heaven that one goes after death.
This sheik is infatuated with arab money, he will eventually make his followers join the ignorants.

No, i do not agree with him.

humm, You have to provide evidence from Qur'an to back your claims. Remember christians also believe in similar statements. That's why they are rejected. So NOI are not islamic sect. It's a different religion. Your statmeents above are in conflict with Qur'an. You likened Allah to human. That's shirk.

Evidence:

Sura 112 (Ikhlas) "There Is Nothing Like Him(Allah)

You also said Farad Muhammad is "son of Allah" but Qur'an disputes that:

Surah 19 (Maryam 35-36)

"It is not befitting to (the Majesty of) Allah that He should have a son. Glory be to Him...."

What evidence do you have otherwise?

TODAY MARKS 52ND ANNIVERSARY OF MALCOLM X’S ASSASSINATION – WATCH ORLANDO BAGWELL’S COMPREHENSIVE DOC ‘MALCOLM X: MAKE IT PLAIN’


Today in history, February 21st, 1965, Malcolm Little/Malcolm X/El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz was killed in New York City.

He was just 39 years old.


Of course, we all know of Spike Lee’s 1992 cinematic masterwork based on the life of the man – a film that currently rests among the nation’s treasures in the world’s largest archive of film, TV and sound recordings; in 2011, it was inducted for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

It’s available on almost every home video format for those who still haven’t seen it.

But also strongly recommended is Orlando Bagwell’s excellent 2 1/2 hour 1994 documentary “Malcolm X: Make It Plain,” narrated by Alfre Woodard – a film that paints a comprehensive portrait of Malcolm X; hustler, visionary, husband and father; dynamic orator and, after spending time in prison, Minister Malcolm, the fiery, eloquent spokesman for the Nation of Islam; and finally as El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, internationally recognized leader and advocate for oppressed peoples – loved and despised, revered and feared… until he was assassinated on February 21, 1965 at just 39 years old.


The entire documentary, which aired as part of PBS’ award-winning American Experience film series in 1994, can be found online at numerous locations, like YouTube, and is strongly encouraged viewing; even if only in remembrance on this day. The full film is embedded below, so watch it now or bookmark this page to watch it later:
