Impact



Throughout Malcolm's life he made hundreds of speeches, many of which were about how black people were treated poorly. Malcolm had a huge impact on the black society as he fought fearlessly against the police and for black justice. He pointed out that the black people had always been treated worse than white people in America. It hadn't changed. He was a good speaker because he knew what he was talking about and was very passionate about his beliefs. So people started to listen to what he had to say and many people agreed with him while others thought he was too angry. Malcolm and Martin Luther King were two powerful black leaders in America who lots of people listened to. They only met once, but they respected each other even though they had different opinions.

When Malcolm first got out of jail he slowly started to convert people to the Nation of Islam by giving speeches outside of Christian churches.

He was a leader of a large Muslim movement in the USA. Malcolm X thought that the Islam religion brought unity, dignity, and racial confidence to the black people in America.

He formed two groups one of which was called the Afro-American Unity who were non religious and another group who followed the Muslim religion the same way it is in Mecca.
