Inspired by the Legend Malcolm X.

Malcolm was a human rights activist who's message was often misunderstood.

Contrary to popular belief, he never advocated for violence, but only for black Americans to be able to protect themselves against any aggression or other forms of oppression.

Before Malcolm changed his life around, he was a local street hustler and leader of a gang of thieves, which subsequently land him in jail for 6 years. Whilst in jail he discovered the Nation of Islam and was strongly influenced by the nation's brotherhood.

Whilst in jail Malcolm educated himself, reading books in History, Law and Philosophy. After jail, he helped the organisation grow to an estimated 500,000 people and rapidly rose to second in rank to Elijah Muhammad.

Malcolm's success however, would not come without enemies. For years, he was spied on by the FBI and members of the Nation of Islam would eventually turn on him, conspiring to have him assassinated.

"Peace be unto you".
