Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain that Malcolm X lived a difficult childhood, experienced racial abuse, imprisonment, and then a later conversion to the Nation of Islam, whose values argued for the self-segregation of blacks to improve their own communities through their own efforts that did not include the vote but might include retaliatory violence in self-defense.
2. Point out that Malcolm X inspired many black prisoners as well as Nation of Islam members and the black urban working class and poor.
3. Note that his critics were the federal government and all its branches, as well as most white Americans.
4. Note that the media found him fascinating and gave him air time while the mainstream civil rights movement found his tactics to be too radical, violent, and dangerous. Many thought him to be a communist influenced by Fidel Castro and Mao Tse Tung.
