About Malcolm X

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, or Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little (19 May 1925 – 21 February 1965) was an American Muslim minister and a human rights activist. For many years, he was a major proponent of the Nation of Islam, espousing black supremacy, the separation of black and white Americans, and scoffing at the civil rights movement's emphasis on racial integration. By March 1964, he had grown disillusioned with the Nation of Islam and ultimately repudiated its teachings, embracing Sunni Islam; while continuing to emphasize Pan-Africanism, black self-determination, and black self-defense, disavowing racism. In February 1965, he was assassinated by three men, all of whom were affiliated with the Nation of Islam. The Autobiography of Malcolm X, published shortly after his death, is considered one of the most influential non-fiction books of the 20th century.

Additional quotes by Malcolm X

It’s a crime, the lie that has been told to generations of black men and white men both. Little innocent black children, born of parents who believed that their race had no history. Little black children seeing, before they could talk, that their parents considered themselves inferior. Innocent black children growing up, living out their lives, dying of old age — and all of their lives ashamed of being black. But the truth is pouring out of the bag now.

بدأت أدرك أهمية السجاد عند المسلمين. كان لكل شخص سجادة صلاة ولكل زوجين أو جماعة من الناس سجاد كبير.. وصلى المسلمون في تلك الغرفة كل على سجادته ثم فرشوا فوق سجاد كبير منديلاً وأكلوا عليه فأصبح السجاد غرفة طعام.. ثم حملوا الصحون والمنديل وجلسوا على السجاد فأصبح السجاد غرفة جلوس، وكانوا من قبل يفترشونه فكان غرفة نوم.. حينذاك أدركت لماذا كان تاجر المسروقات في بوسطن يدفع لنا كل تلك المبالغ في السجاد الشرقي، أدركت أن غلاءه يعود إلى اتقانه الذي يعود إلى أهميته في بلاد له فيها كل هذه الوجه من الاستعمال

I told the Englishman that my alma mater was books, a good library. Every time I catch a plane, I have with me a book that I want to read—and that's a lot of books these days. If I weren't out here every day battling the white man, I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity—because you can hardly mention anything I'm not curious about.
