For my Analytical term paper I will be writing about the famous figure Malcolm X, who had a great influence on the black revolution.

This made Malcolm feel like he had brought many people to an organization of frauds. In 1964, Malcolm left the Nation of Islam because he couldn’t move on after Muhammad’s fraud ways. He decided to create his own organization called the Muslim Mosque Inc. A trip Malcolm took to a pilgrimage in Mecca altered Malcolm’s view and instead of speaking of only African-American rights, he spoke for all races.
