Malcolm X has been described as one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history.[6][7][8] He is credited with raising the self-esteem of black Americans and reconnecting them with their African heritage.[191] He is responsible for the spread of Islam in the black community in the United States.[192]

Many African Americans, especially those who lived in cities in the Northern United States, felt that Malcolm X articulated their complaints concerning inequality better than the mainstream civil rights movement did.[193] One biographer says that by giving expression to their frustration, Malcolm X "made clear the price that white America would have to pay if it did not accede to black America's legitimate demands."[194]
