The person that I am reading about is Malcolm X. His real name was Malcolm Little. The X stands for the unknown when he joined the Nation of Islam (for African Americans). He was born on May 19, 1925. Here a little bit of what happened. His father was murdered, so his mom has to take care of his siblings. Then later on in his life he had gotten others to join the Nation of Islam. He learned about Rose Parks, and he met Martin Luther King Jr. He was around when Brown VS Broad of Education happened. He talked to Cassius Clay who changed his name to the World Famous Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali. This all happened from 1925 (the year he was born in) to the year he was killed in February 26, 1965. He went all over the country and to Egypt once. This happened because Malcolm wanted to have equal rights any way necessary. This means he did do violence thing but later stopped and did nonviolence things.  This all happened because of Malcolm's father's death that is why he joined the other that stand up for equal rights.

The Aha monument that I found was when Malcolm X learned how to do nonviolence from King and  the Nation of Islam. He learned this because he was wanting to use violence because he thought white people had killed his father. But the Nation of Islam and King showed him nonviolence is the key to success and it was true. It was the worst time too because JFK was killed in his lifetime he also learned that he was not giving up just like JFK. King and Malcolm were both different here poof "Martin Luther King Jr with roots deeply planted in Georgia soil, represented a more traditional approach. His was the leadership of Christianity and non-violence. Malcolm, whose father and grandfather had come from Georgia as well, also represented the black experience. Black before Malcolm, men such as Nat Tuner, Denmark Vesey, and Gabriel Prosser, had resorted to violence or threat of violence to obtain their rights.
