Lifetime Accomplishments of Malcom X
Malcolm X is a really interesting person when you get to know him. I was not really interested in Malcolm X when I started off, but as I slowly learned more and more about him he became a really great person. In this paper I will explain his life and try to show you the interesting things I learned.

I knew that he was black and a man who helped a lot to free slaves, but I really don’t know any details.

Malcolm’s given name when he was born was Malcolm Little. Malcolm’s father was a Baptist minister. He highly supported the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Ku Klux Klan often...
