Malcolm X
Malcolm X (1925–65) African-American nationalist leader, b. Malcolm Little. While in prison, Malcolm joined the
Black Muslims and, after his release (1953), became their leading spokesman. Following an ideological split with its leader, Elijah
Muhammad, he made a pilgrimage to
Mecca, became an orthodox Muslim, and formed a rival group. His assassination may have been authorized by the Black Muslims.
