Malcolm X, also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was an African-American Muslim minister and a leader for black people during the Civil Rights Movement. Today Malcolm X is viewed as a “radical” black leader that propagated violence. But this is in many ways a one sided way of depicting Malcolm X and his beliefs. The “passive” approach of protesting by the use of “non-violence” was made popular for African-American people by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But Malcolm X had different views and methods for how to attain freedom. Freedom is, according to Malcolm X, not conceivable by turning the other cheek, but rather by defending the dignity and nobility of the black people, and attaining equality “by any means necessary.
