"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind" (Orwell,
George). Politics has been practiced since the beginning of humanity, it has been crucial to decide who rules, who makes the rules, and what rights
do people possess. Over time people have been divided either due to their beliefs or their desires, with each group striving to have more power and
control in a governed society. People have sought many ways to get what they want, they have protested, debated, schemed and worst of all, murdered.

Even though, Lincoln knew that the issue of slavery would split the country in two, he still advocated a nation free of slaves. During the Civil War, he
issued the Emancipation Proclamation which abolished slavery in the South, and eventually outlawed slavery in the whole country. When the war
ended with a Union victory, it was evident that the U.S. was heading towards a major change, but Lincoln's plans to unite the states and provide
services for the freedmen were soon gone with Lincoln's assassination right after winning his reelection by the hands of a confederate actor during a

I am against every form of racism and segregation, every form of discrimination. I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be
respected as such, regardless of their color"– ( Malcolm X: biography)
When Malcolm took a trip to Mecca, to him it proved to be a life–changing event. It changed the way he looks at somethings and his views on others as
well. Malcolm shared his thoughts and beliefs with different cultures. He found his response was an overwhelmingly positive and was a good
experience for him to have that kind of culture and differences near him and interacting with him as well . When he returned he said "I have met some
blonde–haired blue–eyed men that I can call my brothers".
After Malcolm went to Mecca, he stopped by Africa multiple times. He went there to talk with officials, gave interviews and talk on radio and
Television in Egypt, Ethiopia. On November 23, 1964, on his way home from Africa, Malcolm X stopped in Paris, where he spoke in the Salle de
la MutualitГ©.A week later, on November 30, Malcolm X flew to the United Kingdom, and on December 3 took part in a debate at the Oxford Union
Society. He came back to the United States with a new outlook on integration and a new hope for the future. This time he spoke for all of the races and

Malcolm X Essay
"There can be no black–white unity until there is first some black unity." (Malcolm X, March 8, 1964) Malcolm X was probably one of the most
controversial elements in the civil rights movement. Due to his radical views and actions he was detested by many peoples at that time, yet still today
he is seen as a key figure along with Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Malcolm X had become a member of the Nation of Islam in his earlier years. The Islamic faith borrows basic ideas from the orthodox teachings of Islam
and combines them with the very racist views regarding whites taught by Elijah Mohammed. Malcolm was a very influential priest for the Nation of
Islam. After...show more content...
It was found out that Elijah Mohammed had been partaking in sexual misconduct and that he had several illegitimate children. When Malcolm
confronted Elijah about these things, Elijah admitted to them. This made Malcolm question the beliefs of Elijah, which were basically the foundations
of the Nation of Islam. During this time, many of the leaders of the Nation of Islam became jealous of Malcolm's success. All of these things
contributed to Malcolm eventually leaving the Nation of Islam in 1964.
Later in 1964, Malcolm X took off on a journey to Arabia to try and find the true religion of Islam. While in Arabia, he underwent his holy
pilgrimage. This experience had a very positive impact on Malcolm X. While racial hatred in America had forced black people to the lowest levels
of society, Malcolm had come into a society where race didn't determine a persons role. While in Arabia, a white leader let Malcolm stay with him in
his room, which would have been unheard of during the civil rights movements in the States. It was during this trip to Arabia that Malcolm made a
big change in his way of life. He finally learned to trust people. He found out that the color of one's skin doesn't reflect what kind of person you are,
but it's ones actions that reflect the quality of a person.
From his trip, Malcolm threw out all of his racist and

Malcom X Speech Strengths And Weaknesses
Malcom X speech "Black Man's History" is very intersting as it sheds light on controversial issues and also attempts to awaken the masses. It is clear
that this speech was an attempt to bring in people to join Islam and to also increase faith in the leader Elijah Muhhameds teachings.this speech does
have some strengths and weaknesses within it. The first strength is how Malcom X urges the black population to seek knowledge of their history. He
tells the people that the white people are powerful because they know their religion and that black people can only become powerful after they find out
about their religion. I found this to be true as most of the black population does not know its religion. I am a believer of how knowledge leads to

Malcolm X
Malcolm X was a man of strong words and beliefs. Some say that he was a man of hate and violence. Some also say that he was a smart man of
hope and peace. Malcolm X's influence on people was felt more than it was alive rather than dead. Malcolm X was a major contributor to the black
societies across the world. He fought for what he believed in and educated the young. Though his early life was full of up's and downs he managed to,
what some would say, "turn his life around". In doing this he managed to gain the upper hand of the African American culture by giving them the hope
that one day they would if not own be apart of, what he called, "white mans society".

Malcolm s' death is a silence that is a loud sound to the world. Nobody really understood what he was fighting for until he was shot down in the
Audubon Ball room. People of the opposite race weren't trying to hear what Malcolm had to say about anything.
Malcolm X had a persuasive way with words. He had a voice that influenced people to listen at what he had to say. Malcolm X's voice changed the
Nation of Islam from Six hundred people in 1952 to about 30,000 in 1963. (Headrick) The only way he knew to get his point across to the white
society was to encourage violence amongst the black community. This was the only way to make the white society see the black people as equals in
their society. When Malcolm X was interviewed about the murder of John F. Kennedy, he replied that" it was a case of chickens coming home to
roost". (Malcolm X) Even Elijah Muhammad was embarrassed by his remarks so he told Malcolm to shut his mouth for a while. (Encyclopedia
Britannica)
People often misunderstood what Malcolm X stood for. This was because of the racial differences that were going on at that time. Also because of
the way he talked about people and the way he presented himself. It didn't help that all this was going on in the 1960's were racism was in his prime.
After the death of Malcolm X people of all races started to see the vision that he had in mind for his people. He left an impression on this world to stick

He knew that slang was not the appropriate way to convey himself to Elijah Mohamed and thus decide to change. Malcolm's ability to read and write
were premature, when reading, Malcolm would skip the words that he didn't know or understand and would end up with a clouded view on what the
book had said.
The day that he got a hold of a dictionary, was the day Malcolm changed. He would sit for countless hours and with a pencil, he would copy down the
words from the dictionary from A to Z. At the end of the day, Malcolm would read over and over aloud to himself, what he had written on the tablet,
and found himself in awe over the amount of words that existed in the world. After the experience, Malcolm decided to further his enlightenment by
copying every last page in the dictionary.
The rest of his time in prison was spent copying the pages of the dictionary and writing letters to further improve his penmanship. Malcolm then went
on to broaden his knowledge by reading the teachings of Mohamed and books by other authors. During his time in prison, Malcolm says that he had
never been more truly free in his life. Prison was the education he needed to meet who he truly was inside. To Malcolm prison was the best thing that
could of ever happened to him. SO for now on, when you think that the only possible way for someone to have gotten far in life must have been

Malcolm X Thesis
Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha Nebraska, United States and was a Black civil rights activist, who soared out of the underground
criminal life to become an important African– American preacher in the 20th century. Malcolm X was one of the greatest civil rights leader in the
world because he lived the life of oppression, grew up in the underground world, came out of it through the Nation of Islam and reflected on his past in
order to conjure up anger as motivation to continue to spread his preaching. Malcolm X lived in the times of oppression against the black folk, and
fought hard through his troublesome past to achieve a greater purpose. One that was not looked upon highly at the time, but in time his reputation and

An ignorance against knowledge of oneself. He would get his drugs from guards that smuggled them in and while maintaining this ignorance, he gained
the nickname of Satan. However the inmates that were with him had a certain sense of wisdom and a self–taught aura that spread to him, opening his
mind up once more to education, which was left behind after he left high school. He began to educate himself in English and Latin. The inmates
began to pursue his expeditious interest in knowledge and confronted him on The Nation of Islam. They explained to him that he would have to
hinder his use of drugs and pork and ensue the teachings of The Nation of Islam(NOI). The teachings were quit similar to what the whites were
doing to the blacks except in vice versa. It taught that the whites were devils, Africans were the Allah's chosen ones and that they must both be
separate in order to survive the coming apocalypse. As he dwelled in prison, he continued to learn about his religion by reading a dictionary. Most of
the words written in it were phrased in such a way that it made the white man seem more superior then the black, especially when it came down to
just the words white and black. A letter was sent to Elijah Muhammad from Malcolm asking if he could join the Nation of Islam, and Elijah responded
back by giving him a position of honor, the

Malcolm X Rhetoric
Chris Dennis Critical Analysis of Communication
Malcolm X's Effectiveness as a Speaker Should not be in Question
The context in which a statement is made can change the entire meaning of what was said. This is why many times people will use context as a
defense for statements they make that offend or cause some sort of public backlash. The manner in which a person delivers a message and what
messages the rhetor chooses to deliver can be a great indication of foundation of that persons value and belief system. There are a number of value
systems present in Malcolm X's "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech that he delivered in the storied election year of 1964. There are many statements
made in the ballot or the bullet...show more content...
The Nation of Islam strongly disagreed and forbade its members and especially Malcolm X from taking part in the political scene (Litwack pg 7).
Malcolm knew that if the black population continued to act as a separate community while also avoiding political action, they would never achieve
equality. The Nation of Islam strongly disagreed and forbade its members and especially Malcolm X from taking part in the political scene (Litwack,
pg 7). These differing viewpoints and the growing jealousy of Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm's mentor and leader of the Nation of Islam, were the
fundamental reasons not only for him leaving the Nation of Islam but for the entire tone of "the Ballot or the Bullet" speech (Haley, pg 1).
People often refer to Malcolm's use of terms such as the "white devil" and his overall tone as a reason for him not being the visionary that Martin
Luther King was. Martin Luther King is known for teaching in a very non–violent manner in which he avoided labeling others (Litwack, pg 8). Martin
Luther King certainly deserves admiration for the manner in which he got things accomplished but that shouldn't warrant any discredit aimed at
Malcolm X. Malcolm uses a very aggressive tone because he wanted to get a reaction from his audience. For Malcolm, It was absolutely imperitive
that his audience realize the severity and consequences of this election year. He uses this insistent tone when he

Summary Of Learning To Read By Malcolm X
In Malcolm X's "Learning to Read", we learn the story of how Malcolm turned his how life around while serving a sentence he earned from a
robbery in 1964, which lead him to spend seven years in jail. During this time, Malcolm discovered the power that reading and self educating himself
brought to his consciousness. Who would have known that this man's entire life would of changed and transformed him into one of the biggest
political figures of our time. He himself probably never would've guessed that this would of been his fate while he was in prison serving time for a
crime he committed before his enlightenment. A negative choice he made which ultimately altered the path he was destined to go down,Malcolm X is
the prime example of how change is possible for anyone as long as you start within yourself. Being that the school system I encountered prior to
college barely educates you on black history, I can only imagine how the education system was in Malcolm's time. At this time in his life when he
was Malcolm Little, he had little to no education about his history which is most likely the reason he carried himself the way that he did in the very
beginning of his life. One who does not know where they come from nor value their history typically tends to fall into a stereotypical existence; the
only way to break this cycle is the awakening of the mind. Something has to occur to drastically changes a man or woman's life, whether it's in a
positive or negative form.

Lansing did not hold many opportunities of any kind for a young black man then, so without a particular plan, Malcolm X went to live with his
half–sister, Ella, in Boston. Malcolm X looked, and almost immediately found trouble. He fell in with a group of gamblers and thieves, and began
shining shoes at the Roseland State Ballroom. There he learned the trades that would eventually take him to jail dealing in bootleg liquor and illegal
drugs. Malcolm X characterized his life then as one completely lacking in self–respect. Many journalists would emphasize Malcolm X's "shady" past
when describing the older man, his clean–cut lifestyle, and the aims of the Nation of Islam. In some cases, these references were an attempt to damage
Malcolm X's credibility, but economically disadvantaged people have found his early years to be a point of commonality, and Malcolm X himself
was proud of how far he had come. He spared no detail of his youth in his autobiography, and used his Nation of Islam ideas to interpret them.
Dancing, drinking, and even his hair style were represented by Malcolm X to be marks of shame and self–hatred. Relaxed hair in particular was an
anathema to Malcolm X for the rest of his life; he described his first "conk" in the autobiography this way: "This was my first really big step toward
self–degradation: when I endured all of that pain of the hair–straightening chemicals, literally burning my flesh to have it

Essay on The Civil Rights Movement: Malcolm X
During the Civil Rights Movement, there was a famous leader whose protests were peaceful and non–violent. That man was Martian Luther King Jr.,
but many people have never heard of another Civil Rights leader. Even though his protests were different than King's protests, he did his part and help

He started thinking about the world and the society he lives in. He began to question the way things were, and he realized that a change in his life,
and in the society was both possible and necessary. Prior to his imprisonment, Malcolm had been enclosed in the world of the hustler, the player, the
pimp, the gangster, the parasite, and he couldnВ№t imagine him outside of that world. "Reading exposed Malcolm to new worlds; it allowed him to
see that there were alternatives to the lifestyle and values of the social parasite" (Shanna). While in prison, Malcolm began to think, and to read. but
only after he had been encouraged to do so by someone that he respected and who had taken an unselfish interest in him. "Malcolm was later
motivated by a new sense of self–worth and identity and purpose, as his family introduced him to the religious and political philosophy of Islam, as
taught by Elijah Muhammad, and practiced by the Nation of Islam (NOI)" (Estate of Malcolm X). Malcolm X converted to the Nation of Islam while
in prison, and upon his release in 1952 he abandoned his surname "Little," which he considered a relic of slavery, in favor of the surname "X" a tribute
to the unknown name of his African ancestors.
Now a free man, Malcolm X traveled to Detroit, Michigan, where he worked with the leader of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad, to expand the
movement's following among black Americans nationwide. "Malcolm X became the minister of Temple No. 7 in Harlem and

Malcolm X
We all know Malcolm X as one of the most famous human rights activist, but how did he get that far and become famous? Malcolm X was born as
Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. Malcolm was the fourth of eight children born to Louise and Earl Little. Due to Earl Little's
civil rights activism, the family was subjected to a lot of harassment from white supremacist groups including the KKK. A fact aboutMalcolm X was he
had his first encounter with racism before he was even born.
With all the racism encounters the family had, Earl Little moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1926 and then to Lansing, Michigan in 1928. The racism
was still following them and they then watched their Lansing, Michigan home burn to the ground. Earl Little then moved the family to East Lansing
where he built a new home. Two years later, in 1931, his body was found and Malcolm's mother did not recover from his death and then was put into a
mental institution in 1937. Malcolm and his siblings were separated and placed in foster homes.
In 1938, Malcolm X attended Mason High School where he was one of the only black students. He excelled academically and was well liked by
his classmates, who elected him class president. A turning point came in 1939, where Malcolm's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he
grew up and he replied with lawyer. His teacher responded, " One of life's first needs is for us to be realistic ... you need to think of something you can

Malcolm X Summary
My summary interprets the material in an objective stance by talking about Malcolm X, –and the way he educated himself. An example of this would
be when I said "The way he taught himself was going through every page of a dictionary, and writing down every word and even punctuation mark on
the page." That explains how he studied and not my feelings about how he studied. Deciding what to put into my summary and what not to was
depending on its importance. How I judged importance was by going through my annotations in my head without looking at the story, and the ones that
I remembered were the most important because I recalled them. After that I looked over the story and read over my annotations and decided what other
important things I left
