Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21st, 1965. He was shot while preparing a speech at Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan. Many people in the civil rights movement were devastated. If Malcolm had never lived, I feel that someone else would have stepped up and shared his same views. I also feel like no one would have even able to do it or present themselves as Malcolm did.

After getting out or Prison, Malcolm became a minister of Temple No.7 in Harlem. He took pride in spreading his ideas and was an advocate for self defense in the civil rights movement.  He was ,"against every form of racism and segregation, every form of discrimination." as he put it. He was tired of his people being abused and had a very controversial idea of fighting back. Whenever someone is violent towards you, especially racist, fight back.  Guns and all. He went on speaking at debates, radio, and even universities like Harvard.
