Malcolm X

MAlCOLM X

Malcolm x was born on May 19th, 1925 in Omaha Nebraska. Malcolm’s mother Louise Little was a homemaker working hard to take care of the family. Malcolm grew up in a large family with eight children and both his mother and father. Malcolm’s father was a baptise minister and helped support Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl little Malcolm’s father received death threats from the whites. Receiving these death threats forced the family to move two times before Malcolm’s fourth birthday. Once moved to Michigan their house was burned to the grown. Two years after the house being burned down Earl Little was found lying across the town’s railroad tracks, but unfortunately the police called both incidents accidents. Malcolm was a student who was very smart and focused graduation Jr High at the top of his class. Malcolm was told by his favourite teacher the dream of becoming a lawyer was not a realistic goal for nigger. After hearing such negative words from his teacher Malcolm started losing interest in school dropped out and stent time in Boston. In 1946 Malcolm was arrested and convicted with burglary charges Malcolm was given ten.

It’s significant to talk more about Malcolm X because he is a very inspirational man. Learning deeper about his story and just how far he has come is very interesting and its suitable for anyone to learn about. It’s important for students to understand and learn about Malcolm X because students go through a lot of hard times during their teen years. Seeing the hard life Malcolm had to go through make it a lot easier to overcome sticky situations. If students see what Malcolm had to go through to get to where he was in his life will make it a lot easier to take school serious smarten up and realize just how fortunate we our. My selection makes black history more relevant to students in the TDSB because it’s all about Malcolm X. 1000 of students across the world are taught about Malcolm each year, I feel he is a huge factor when it comes to black history and should be recognized as much as the other black history legends.
