Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little, later El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz; May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965) was a black nationalist and revolutionary in the United States. After leaving prison, Malcolm became a minister for the Nation of Islam (NOI).[1] Following his pilgrimage to Mecca, Malcolm's disagreements with the Nation and its leader, Elijah Muhammad, culminated into his departure from the NOI. In the later stages of his life, he changed his name to Malik Shabazz and founded the the Organization of Afro-American Unity in an attempt to create a dialogue between the African diaspora and mainland to consolidate stronger Afro-American ties with the African continent.[2] He viewed the Vietnamese resistance against the U.S. occupation as a global struggle against imperialism, colonialism, and neocolonialism.[3]
