Malcolm X’s influence on Muslim African American History
A brief history of the African American History during Malcolm X’s time
African American history dates back to the years of oppression and slavery. It took
many centuries when the African Americans had to be treated in a better way after a long
struggle to attain their rights. The many tears of slavery under the whites are still fresh in
history, and this forms the major basis of their struggle for equal rights. According to Bangura
(2016), whites regarded blacks as inferior for many years. The rise of likes of locals and many
other human rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr was timely at a point when the blacks
were still under oppression by the whites. The activists took war at the doorstep of the
government that seemed to have a low recognition of the people. Interestingly, blacks were not
allowed to participate in democratic practices such as voting. The struggle by the black activists
led to the fruits of better representation and equal rights among all Americans.
Those who suffered most were the activists who faced the wrong hand of the
government. For Malcolm X, he was arrested and detained after being considered to have
committed a crime (Malcolm, 2019). It’s during the imprisonment period that he educated
himself, made a strong influence on the other inmates who were mostly blacks, and upon
release began a serious form of activism.
Malcolm takes center stage of the oppression in the US as he held two main identities
that were at the threat of considerable crime relation black and Islamic identity. African
Americans and the Muslims were highly neglected and mistreated by the whites. Generally,
Americans were Christians and regarded Islam as a terror group and an inferior religion. In the
MALCOLM X’S INFLUENCE

aspect of the race, blacks were considered inferior people hence taken as slaves. Malcolm X
was selected to lead as a black Muslim spokesman.
Influence on the African American
Malcolm took a strong move to defend and encourage African Muslims to remain proud
of the heritage that helped them together. This includes strong belief and illustration that they
were being treated as poor and smaller by the whites despite having been born in the US. Most
of the blacks have their roots of entry into the US during the slave trade when their forefathers
were brought in the supplement the labor supply. Thus, their generations ended up being slaves
and subjects to the whites. However, Malcolm X was in the forefront to call for the recognition
of the blacks despite being minorities in the US (Street, 2018). In this case, he would call for
the establishment of a state for the blacks so that they could gain their freedoms.
Like other activists, Malcolm X was spearheading the move to establish the
independence of all African Americans ion the US. He believed that they were capable of
living on their independence without relying on the whites or any other groups. Malcolm X
made speeches that would leave the audience electrified with the inspirational tone and words
in addition to courage and vigor would be a basic strong pillar that made Malcolm successful
in making his address.
Most of the American slaves that came from the West, and Central Africa were Muslim.
The two regions have already converted to Islam. Slaves had been forced to follow Christianity
during slavery, but they still kept their old faith. During the twentieth century, the oppression
MALCOLM X’S INFLUENCE

made them convert to Islam, essentially through the effects of the nationalist movement, and
leaders were influential in the reformation.
Malcolm X advanced a call for the establishment of a special state for African
Americans where they would live independently without the white’s influence. The African
Americans were brutality and illegally abused. Blacks could accomplish their legitimate rights
and govern themselves by what they had in possession and capability. In the wake of racism
against black American being subject to serious hostility, the supposed Christian white
American was considered to have increasingly responsive to a demonstrated hostile to the
blacks (Curtis, 2016). Maybe it could be to spare America from unavoidable catastrophe.
Malcolm came back from the journey leader of the group. He was courageous, with a
new level of knowledge. The battle had developed from the social liberties battle of a patriot
to the human rights battle of an internationalist and philanthropic. Assassinations and other
threats faced the black people who rose to stand for the rights of the blacks and Muslim
Americans. The government had been accused of leading in oppressions where the perpetrators
were never summoned to face the law. Numerous individuals accept there was more than one
association included.
Malcolm X’s life influenced Americans from multiple points of view. His
transformation probably affected many Islam devotees who joined the course to promote the
struggle to promote devotees into universal Islam. African Americans’ enthusiasm for their
Islamic roots has thrived his African Muslim involvement in bondage. An ever-increasing
number of African Americans got to convert to Islam, embracing Muslim names, and exploring
African culture (Tucker, 2017). These were based on the aspect that Christianity was regarded
MALCOLM X’S INFLUENCE

to be a white race religion. Enthusiasm for Malcolm X became a pride for African Americans,
Muslims, and Americans all in all.
Historians have a strong belief that Malcolm X can be taken in regard as one of the most
vital figures on the nationwide popularity of liberation struggle through activism in the US
(Bangura, 2016). Malcolm rising in the ranks of the Muslims despite standing up for the blacks
was a key aspect that shows how well he was positioned to lead the others and that his
movements were aimed at ensuring equal rights and freedoms and were accorded to all blacks
and those in the Islamic religion. At the time of the struggle, inferior and poor labelling of the
blacks was common. Most of them being poor were regarded to have a low level of human
nature compared to the whites. Matters such as his intellectual capability were significantly
high, and blacks were presumed to come second in every aspect. This could be bone of the
most pressing issue even though they would handle the same level of competency in different
aspects of work and education. Characterization and effects such as low payment for the jobs
at the same level as the whites would lead to more protests in the form of go-slows.
According to Tucker (2017), Malcolm was a charismatic leader in American history
that had a high level of principles where he believed and acted in what he believed was right.
Having a fearless character, he made a huge impact on the rise of Black Nationalism that was
connected with the Islamic struggle to find its liberty from oppression from the oppression.
Generally, issues such as racism, discrimination were pressing to those of African
American groups. Malcolm X always immediately considered things without revolving around
many explanations. The move would lead to issues and confrontation with the government
where the words may have directly been pointed to particular people in out. He was well known
MALCOLM X’S INFLUENCE

to encourage the followers of his struggle and social activism to always leave in peace, respect
people and obey law. However, he made a controversial aspect of calling on people to take law
in their hands when they felt offended. This made his respect for law undetermined and
controversial. According to Simpson (2017), the reasoning behind the regards he made could
be determined and influenced by the past happening where police would show a higher level
of brutality to the blacks while white culprits would walk free. His experiences in jail where
the black’s population was high and incomparable to where the race had created a perception
that the law was to control those from the minority groups, especially the African Americans.
And argues that he was wrong in compelling African American need to state about race when
he wasn’t giving addresses or getting out the United States on separation, isolation, and racial
inclination.
Role within the Islamic Aspect
Islam to America by subjugated Africans could not endure long, yet it left trails that are
as yet obvious today. The history of the enslaved and oppressed African Muslims was in dark
days and could not lead to protests. The leadership of Malcolm X as a spokesman was a key
aspect of change that came to ensure that the people had to demand their rights. Unlike the case
of other activities, Malcolm X was directly attacking the whites based on the real issues they
had. It initially emulated the custom orbiting of the Kaaba in Mecca by Muslim leaders.
Meetings of once subjugated individuals gathered by the Works Progress Administration
during the 1950s and were passed out during ceremonies of the religion (Street, 2018). From
the Muslim beliefs in freewill contribution, Malcolm X was influential in ensuring that the
people had equal rights like the rest of the Americans in the process.

Malcolm X’s life has investigated sufficiently the impacts he made on the Muslims on
his way to deal with social liberties. Malcolm X had an incredible move that acknowledged the
Islamic belief system of his Arab Muslim supporters, and in this manner, constrained his
capacity to conceptualize an Islam that was politically pertinent to the battle for all African
Americans to gain their freedom. Grasping that Islam was a universalistic custom could have
nothing to do with particularistic developments or battles, the pioneer supported a political
charge that favored issues that looked to unite black dependent on their regular social and
natural characteristics.
On March 12, 1964, Malcolm X made an incitement to the Islam that led to the exposure
of some of the Islamism leaders such as Elijah Muhammad’s who engaged in certain
immoralities (Taylor, 2013). Malcolm left many of his associated in Islam to define a new path
that was to boost the social activities for the African Muslim Americans.
It was interesting to note that Malcolm was set on a mission that he would go alone. He
parted ways with those who differed with the people who had immoral, or any differing support
on the right. His anger and dissent on whites were high such that he used straight forward
sentiment on the issues of operation. According to Simpson (2017), Malcolm X failed to create
a strong group that would promote his efforts to motivate the masses on the ideologies he
believed in on the mission to fight for the rights.
As a result of the influences of Malcolm X’s efforts, many scholars began to lead in the
aspect of social activation that was combined with the political aspects. The scholars would
take the activism to a higher-level while they staged more demonstrations that called for equal
rights in the US. Although many of them were arrested, they were able to create a strong
MALCOLM X’S INFLUENCE

influence on the rest of the black race. Being a Muslim and black America was a core aspect
that led discrimination by the Christian whites (Draper, 2012). They had said that, whitearraigning articulations, in any case, created a strong influence for both identities they held that
faced restrictions and oppressions. Automatically, as key scholars and determined to call for
rights and freedoms. They harnessed at efforts that were possible to ensure that their voices
were heard. Protesters had no protection of the state, and this led to further brutal hardship in
the hands of police like Malcolm X and the rest of activists, the other African Americans
encountered difficulties and harsh treatment from the whites especially the police in the
struggle.
The Muslims under Malcolm’s influence were well motivated to continue with the
struggle and call for equality and freedoms. However, access to the media press was limited to
the blacks, where they were denied the freedom to air their issues. Malcolm portrayed a
courageous step toward seeking the attention of the media.
Malcolm’s quest would then create controversy when he missed activism with religious
leadership (Curtis, 2016). Despite facing lots of struggle in the mission to lead others in social
activism, Malcolm X was faced with contentious issues that attempted to deter his moves.
Interestingly, despite being a religious spokesman, he took it differently and missed what was
mostly characterized by the aspect of the political path of activism.
Active Activism
Malcolm X got some knowledge about the reaction to the death and, in this way, noticed
the United States government and its pioneers had been occupied and has focused more on the
MALCOLM X’S INFLUENCE
10
activists’ deaths. He made allegations that the US government and European powers were not
only oppressing the blacks in their nations but also beyond their boundaries. He made note of
the racism and oppression of the black trace as a global issue that existed for long (Bangura,
2016). For instance, he claimed that the US government directed the assassination of Congolese
Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba after an abduction, torment, and execution in 1961.
Inside the course of his reaction, he said the death was an instance of past events
working out as intended. Some African American people proposed that terrible deeds submitted
against others would turn to cause issues down the road for the culprits who were specifically
blacks at the end. At the finish of the 90-day suspension, information was sent from the central
command of the nationalism in the US that the discipline for apparently punished for his
sentiment that was considered to have gone beyond control.
Through a press conference, Malcolm X would call on the rest of the black nationalists
to come up and join the political forces. He considered strict gathering that would likewise
include itself in appointive legislative issues and network sorting out. By then, he had created
strong alliances that would create political forces that were set to call for a change in the country
(Curtis, 2016). Calling for the independence for the black Americans would be informed by the
continued oppressions that seemed not to cease despite the advocacy made by the motionless
and civil activists.
In February 1965, Malcolm endeavored to enter France again was denied entry by the
government. The French government never gave reasons with respect to the action taken on the
entry denial. Subsequent to coming back to the US, what’s more, a short visit to Britain, and
his house was bombarded in the morning. Then, during one of Malcolm’s last speeches at the
MALCOLM X’S INFLUENCE
11
Cornhill Methodist Church in New York, he spoke that in the blink of an eye you would be
able to comprehend the issues among whites and Black individuals. Whether they were living
in Rochester or those in Mississippi and California. While considering the exception of
comprehending to the fundamental issue that exists among the individual not kept at the
neighborhood level, then not limited to the universal, and reaches worldwide level by then.
He would make a trip to Detroit, where he addressed the issues of Pan-Africanism and
Internationalism. He was assassinated on February 21, 1965, at a time when he was scheduled
to make an address to the OAAU (Draper, 2012). There was an accusation of traitor-ship from
the members of the nationalist movement, but higher attribution of the death was directed to
have the federal government involvement. Until the arrangement of universal prejudice and
monetary misuse is gone up against by persecuted people groups all in all on a worldwide level,
there won’t be an answer for the incident. Youth today should consider what was crafted by
Malcolm X and take part in an unforgettable battle to the momentous difficulties confronting
the issues faced in the 21st century.
Summary
Malcolm takes center stage of the oppression in the US as he held two central identities
that were at the threat of considerable crime related to African Americans and his Islamic
identity. African Americans and Muslims were highly neglected and mistreated by the whites.
