About the Author
Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little in 1925, was a transformative African American leader, activist, and orator whose life embodied the struggle for racial justice and human rights in mid-20th-century America. Rising from a troubled youth marked by poverty and incarceration, he evolved into a powerful voice for Black empowerment through his involvement with the Nation of Islam and later his independent advocacy for civil rights. His eloquent speeches and writings challenged systemic racism, colonialism, and inequality, inspiring generations worldwide. Tragically assassinated in 1965, Malcolm X's legacy endures as a symbol of resilience, self-determination, and unyielding pursuit of equality, profoundly influencing the Black Power movement and global liberation struggles.
