- It's been 50 years since El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz - aka Malcolm X - was killed on February 21, 1965. His legacy has been mixed: For many Americans, he's the fire-and-brimstone black leader who talked about the “white devil,” but for others, he is the forgotten pillar of the civil rights movement as important as Martin Luther King Jr. Watch as AJ+ asks people - young and old - what #MalcolmMeans to them.

he represented strength and truth.
Malcolm x means fighting for justice and equality
as a black person, i like malcolm x because he wanted black people to fight for their freedom, unlike martin luther king, who was begging for for black peoples rights. as a young black man i like the idea of fighting for my freedom a bit more than begging. i totally respect Dr Martin Luther King jr. i just wish if Malcolm had fought and won a war, that would have been really awesome.
Well, not so much a war. His message, before and after leaving the NOI, was rather a precursor to the Black Power notion of armed autonomy. That Africans in America should arm themselves so as to protect themselves from the depredations of an oppressive system.
Islam gave him courage and strength.
He is black and he is a great Muslim
Malcolm X means that I and my complexion are not symbols of shame, but rather celebration.✊🏿
I have a friend from Israel, he is in his 60's and a Muslim. I asked him about Malcom X one day. He said that Malcom is still well loved in his Country.
God bless Malcolm X,Martin Luther King Jr and Nat Turner
he presented fearlessness, audacity, justice, and self-empowerment
He is fruit of Islam. He is Muslim.He is our hero too. I support our muslim brothers and sisters irrespective of their colour... Muslim come from different colours
Background music name?
It's called "Smokey Vibes".
AJ+ by who? thanks!
AJ+ Thank you very much!
Malcolm to me means, Islam is the new plaque.
Charismatic...
He was smart man who preached some great points but he over all took an L for preaching a religion who's hurts more blacks than any other.
By any means necessary
His name was El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.
Stop calling him with his slave name
Yes - but look at what they wrote in the description box. Also - watch the video to the end. I believe the included the "Malcolm" because that would help people find the video.
What slave name"?
watch his interview after mecca and stop spreading misinformation
This was very weak. Y'all could've done better by my anscestor.
to be honest i liked his attituted but he said stupid shit also
to be honest i don't like your senseless comment. it shows how shit loaded brain you has.
..!..
Malcolm X was love after he realized the "Nation" was false.
Malcolm x is a mixed man he had a white grandfather and he had ginger hair
The Almighty took away Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther king before the age of 41, the age of responsibility, in order to take them to Heaven, as far as the Arabic Ghor-on is concerned (46:15). Because Malcolm would have been engaged with this so called "Islam" a manmade religion. As the Arabic Ghor-on says, "One must be stupid if he would turn away from the religion of Ebrahim, "The Nation of Ebrahim" (2:130). And Dr. King would have been fallen into idol worshipping this manmade name "Jesus" which no one knows who came up with that name. Yet, in the original Aramaic New Testament, and Arabic Ghor-on he was called "E-saw" son of Maryam. Now we have the scientifically proven scripture based on mathematics, the exact science, which proves these facts. Thanks to the Almighty Creator for His knowledge.
He was a racist, that is why schools teach about MLK
TheCryingshot If a white person joins the KKK, they are racist forever even if they drop the racist views & leave the racist group.
Samething happens with black racist groups.
TheCryingshot He helped a known racist group & he teached people about the group's views.
He is forever a racist.
TheCryingshot Maybe at first it wasn't but it quickly became racist.
Maybe he joined before it went racist, all I know is he teached people about NIO's ideas & NIO is marked as a racist group.
TheCryingshot Some got rid of slavery via revolution, some got rid of slavery by just waiting it out & some let the pro slave & anti slave sides kill each other.
You have twisted logic.
