You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Malcolm X was an African American leader during the 1960s. He was one of the first African American men to aggressively promote pride among African American people, and to be unapologetic about questioning, opposing, and overturning the status quo. He was a member of the Nation of Islam, and was killed by other members of the group who disagreed with some of his views.

Here is the Wikipedia entry on Malcom X or Google Knol. Even Mahalo has a page on him.

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]
