Malcolm X, also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was born on May 19, 1925 as Malcolm Little in Omaha Nebraska to Earl Little and Louise Helen. His father was a Baptist lay speaker and supporter of Marcus Garvey and a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Three of Earl's brothers died violently at the hands of white men and one of his uncles was lynched.

He was a famous Civil Rights leader during the 1960s. He is best known due to his criminal past and Muslim brotherhood. After overcoming his faults, Malcolm X, also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, went on to become one of the largest influences of the Civil Rights Movement. Read some of his greatest quotes below.

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American. Being born here in America doesn't make you an American.
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
