<Malcolm X (May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965 – also: Malcolm Little, Detroit Red, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, and Omowale) was a spokesman for the Nation of Islam, and a founder of both the Muslim Mosque, Inc., and the Organization of Afro-American Unity. He was assassinated in February 1965 on the first day of National Brotherhood Week. During his life, Malcolm evolved from being a street-wise hoodlum to one of the most prominent black nationalist leaders born in the United States, ultimately rising to become a world renowned Pan-Africanist and human rights activist.\n\nFor more information visit the site below.

He taught on striving for equality from  a Christian and "personal responsibility" point of view.\nSomething that has, sadly been lost on today's black leadership.

He's a hero man. He stood up to the Brits in South Africa and they put him in prison for close to 30 years as enemy to the country. He is Americas Martin Luther King to South Africa. He was a non-violent leader and the Brits feared him. When there was finally revolution, they freed him and he became leader of the Country. That's all I know.

I hate it when white people try to make him out to be a crazy, radical black man...\n\nMalcolm had 3 distinct stages in his life.  in his younger years, he was a gangster, and thief and went to jail for it.  While in jail, he realized that he didn't like the way his life was going so he decided to change it.  He joined the Nation of Islam and became a prominent member.  He was pretty racist in this time of his life, being brainwashed by the NOI.  He eventually became suspicious of the Nation of Islam and disapproved of the lifestyle of its leader.  He took a trip to Africa, Egypt, Mecca, and the Middle East and learning that there were Muslims of all colors.  He came back a changed man.  I think that he was a progressive mind, more of a realist than a racist.  He was about getting blacks the rights that they deserved just like Martin Luther King, but Malcolm did it in a different way.  He did it in a more in-your-face, aggressive style as opposed to the passive style of King.

Muhammad Ali Biography\n\n    Uploaded by Sk8erD00d (665) on Dec 12, 2004 \nCassius Marcellus Clay Jr. later known as Muhammad Ali, was a black boxer, and was proud of it. Many African Americans were ashamed of their color, but Ali was different. He was the first boxer to win the Heavyweight Championship 3 different times. He had a great personality and was liked by the people. During his life, he made big decisions that changed the course of his life completely. Muhammad Ali's journey through life was a great inspiration for African American people, but Ali himself inspires admiration to everybody.\n\nMuhammad Ali was a man made to box. He had a great career before him since he made his first professional fight under President Eisenhower presidency. His Professional Career was really impressive. His had a great balance and was able to move his hands and feet in great speed and coordination. Ali was said to dance in the ring while destroying his opponents. Ali started fighting at a very short age, and his first teacher was Joe Martin (Hauser 18). Through hard work and discipline, he became a professional fighter and eventually the Heavyweight champion of the world. Although he lost the title twice, he regained it three times, putting him in the history books. His boxing career was put to an end when he started suffering from Parkinson's disease. This was the end of his boxing, but his greatness will never die.\n\nMuhammad Ali was not the kind of person that gets taken away with fame and money. He is a simple, unsophisticated person with a very loving heart, and very determined (Hauser 186). He did not care much about himself, he enjoyed making people happy. While training, he let people come and see him, charging them to see the show. Doing so, he earned about $1000 a day. After the training was over, he went home and gave away every cent to needy people, especially kids (Hauser 149). This was the kind of person Ali was. His big dream was to see peace in the country, racial peace. Also, he was not totally convinced with the idea of segregation because it is not good to make people be together against their will. This way of thinking and qualities is what Malcolm X saw in Ali, and therefore thought Ali could be a great messenger for the African Americans (Hauser 110). Ali's ideas and actions distinguished him from the rest, he was an inborn leader.\n\nDuring his life, Ali was forced to make some tough decisions, and always made them his own way. At the time of Ali's fighting, the United States were involved in the Vietnam War. As a result, young Americans were been drafted to serve in the military. When political figures saw Ali fighting, they decided to stop the hurting of our own and draft him, so he hurts the people in Vietnam. Ali was not pleased with this decision, because ha had just won the Heavyweight Championship and because he said, "I ain't got no quarrel with them Vietcong"(Hauser 144). His final decision on the issue was that he would not go to war. He was not willing to go and kill people, while his own are in bad conditions at home. In the same way, he was forced to decide if he wanted to become a billionaire and sell his people, or to become poor and not sell his people (185). For this rebel action, his Heavyweight Title was taken away and he was put in jail. This did not matter to him because he h!\n\nad followed his beliefs and obeyed Allah. He has taught his people a lesson, and that is what satisfies him. Ali's strong beliefs cut his uprising career and took away his greatest years as a person and as a boxer.\n\nA very important quality that shapes Ali's personality is his faith in religion. Ali risked his whole career in making a choice, right or wrong. To his eyes, the correct action was to stay and face the consequences, but not go and kill innocent people. He did not agree with discrimination, and said, "People are people: God created us all." Ali was Musli

It isn't really considered a story.  It was his most famous speech he made.... I am sure someone can give dates and places of where he made that speech but basically in his speech, he says he had a dream where we will all live together in peace and harmony and people wouldn't be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character.  \n\nVery powerful speech and man in the Civil Rights movement. May he rest in peace.

No, he was a refugee from a dying planet.  Krypton exploded, therefore he has no home to return to.  I think he came to earth in the 1930s when immigration laws were different.
