Malcolm+X


 * __Born-May 19, 1925 Died – February 21, 1965__**

= **Personal Statement** = = = = =  **I was born on May 19, 1925 to Earl and Louise Norton Little in Omaha Nebraska. I have six siblings and I am the the fourth child of the seven. My father had children before he married my mother making us 10 children altogether. My father was a minister who agreed with what Marcus Garvey who by the way is a Jamaican-American who believe all blacks should return to Africa. Even though our family was in poverty my father believed that god will help us. Due to the death threats in 1926 by the Klu Klux Klan my family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and later to Lansing Michigan. On September 8, 1931 My father Earl Little was killed by a street car and some believe it was the black legion others believe it was KKK. Years passed by and my mother became sick she became mentally ill because of us and because of the death of my father. She was then sent to a mental Institute and we were off to foster homes. Wilfred and Hilda were allowed to stay in the house since they were old enough, but the rest of us left. years passed by and I moved back with Wilfred and Hilda they were like parents, Wilfred was like the father and Hilda was like the Mother. in February 1941 I left Michigan and went to Boston, Massachusetts to live with my half-sister Ella Collins. during my young adult years I did bad things which eventually to me to prison. During my time in prison I learned about the Nation of Islam and become part of it. Years went on and I preached about the religion but broke away from it in 1964 because things were not right about the leader Elijah Muhammad. I am not really an author but the only thing that I wrote was the "Autobiography of Malcolm X" which was published in 1965. As a young child I was always interested in English I believe without it things would be very different. I just love to read and learn about new things. If I could teach this field I would promise to make students have a better vocabulary.**
