This is a text about malcolm x I need it for my exam. My topic is Racism. pls correct!!
Malcolm X was born Malcom Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. He had eight children. When Malcolm was four, his father was killed by a Ku-Klux Klan member. After the death of her husband, his mother got an emotional breakdown and was committed to a mental institution. After that her children were split up in various foster homes and orphanages. He was good at school but was not interested in studies so he moved to his sister’s in Boston, Massachusetts where he did various jobs. After some time he committed a crime and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was released from jail three years earlier. His brother Reginald visited him and discussed with him about his Muslim religion. Reginald belonged to the religious organization the Nation of Islam (NOI). Fascinated by that, Malcolm began to study the teachings of the NOI and of the leader Elijah Muhammad. The NOI is a Sect whose members are only Black People who believe in the Islam. But they see white people as the devil. The origin of his X name is unknown, because Little was the name of the slave-trader of his ancestors. Malcolm started to be very popular in the media. The NOI was very happy about that. But they didn’t like the fact that Malcolm was on the foreground instead of the NOI Community. So they forbade Malcolm to speak to the media. Malcolm didn’t obey and escaped from the NOI. He wanted to understand the Islam better so the same year he flew to Africa and the Mecca. During his trip he understood that white people were not all so evil. Many white people helped him and ate with him. There he saw something he had never seen in America. He changed his name from Malcolm to Hajj Malik el Shabazz and his religious views to the Islam. When he came back from this trip to America he received many death threats from the NOI. On February 21, 1965 a member of the NOI came to a meeting given by Malcolm and shot him with a gun in the heart so that Malcolm died fast. Even if he is dead, his words, theories and his commitment to the Islam are still alive today.
Thank you very much

Malcolm Little was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. He was one of eight children. When Malcolm was four years old, his father was killed by a Ku Klux Klan member. After the death of her husband, his mother had an emotional breakdown and was committed to a mental institution. Malcolm and the other children were split up and sent to various foster homes and orphanages. He did well in school, but it didn’t interest him; he moved to Boston, Massachusetts to live with his sister and worked at various jobs.
After committing a crime, he was arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison, but was released three years early. After that his brother Reginald visited him and discussed the Muslim religion with him. Reginald belonged to a religious organization called the Nation of Islam (NOI). Fascinated with it, Malcolm began to study the teachings of the NOI and of their leader, Elijah Muhammad. The NOI is a sect of only black people, who believe in Islam and see white people as the devil. At this time Malcolm began using "X" in his name to stand for "unknown origin", because "Little" was the name of the slave-trader who sold his ancestors.
For some time Malcolm was very popular in the media. The NOI was very happy about that, but didn't like that it was Malcolm in the foreground and not the NOI itself, so they forbade Malcolm to speak to the media. Malcolm refused and left the NOI. He wanted to understand Islam better, so that year he flew to Africa and to Mecca. During his trip he learned that not all white people were evil. Many white people helped him and ate with him, something that he had never seen in America. He changed his name from Malcolm to Hajj Malik el Shabazz, and his religious views to Islam.
When he returned to America, he received many death threats from the NOI. On February 21, 1965 a member of the NOI came to an event where Malcolm was speaking and shot him through the heart. Malcolm died quickly. Even though he is dead, his speeches, theories, and his dedication to Islam live on today.
Thank you very much
