He was a minister, Human rights activist and prominent leader who served as a spokesperson in the nation of Islam during the 1950's to the 1960's. Because of his efforts, Islam's nation grew from 400 members in 1952 to 40,000 members in 1960. He was an inspirational orator, and exhorted blacks to break the shackles of racism, "by any means necessary" including violence. The civil rights leader broke with the group shortly before his assassination on February 21, 1965. ]]> 2018-04-09 14:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/249807671 sinman2401 https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/249811475 In 1946 while Malcolm X was in prison for larceny, he became a member of the Nation of Islam, which is when he changed his name.

P: I see Malcolm X, trying to buy car. Also a salesman talking to him saying "Just imagine when you're pulled over in this thing.
I: Because I see him saying that I can infer that when he starts driving it he will be pulled over quickly.
C: The sales man says that because of his race, and since he's driving a nice car the police will think that it is stolen and will pull him over.

He would indirectly cause violence by telling blacks to defend their rights in any way possible, which kind of goes against the first amendment. He is allowed to have his own voice but he was just using it the wrong way.  ]]> 2018-04-10 14:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/250284091 sinman2401 https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/250287128 https://www.biography.com/video/malcolm-x-mini-biography-2078946252]]> 2018-04-10 14:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/250287128 sinman2401 https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/250287641 Due to Malcolm's fiery speeches and encouragement of violence, Malcolm X was disliked by the non-violent advocates, including Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X also influenced the Nation of Islam, he influenced their racism and violent approach to black rights, he would later repudiate the group and their beliefs but still remain an advocate for violence. ]]> 2018-04-10 14:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/250287641 bledfo5235 https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/250290857 Although there wasn't a prominent court case involving Malcolm X, he was arrested and sent to prison in 1926 at the age of 20. Malcolm X and some other accomplices had been involved in a series of burglaries and one day, while picking up a stolen watch after getting it repaired, Malcolm X was arrested. This imprisonment would go on to have a major impact on the life of Malcolm X as it was here, in the Massachusetts State Prison, that Malcolm X would devote himself to the Nation of Islam, later becoming one of its prominent leaders. ]]> 2018-04-10 14:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/250290857 bledfo5235 https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/251146832 2018-04-12 13:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sinman2401/7px5yu304tej/wish/251146832
