By Any Means Necessary

Though not as far reaching in its appeal as the "Civil Rights Movement". The Black Muslim Movement did have somewhat of an effect. There is not a lot of events documented as a result of this groups involvement. Mainly because there weren't a lot of positive things attached to their efforts. I might be somewhat biased in my opinion, but I think this was a waste of Black folk's time. Before he was murdered in 1965, MalcomX had abandoned the Nation also. He had come to realize what many of us know now.

This is one of his quotes that gets much less attention. Than those that caused unrest. Most of us have never heard it at all. Though it is probably the most insightful, caring thing he has ever publicly said to his people. This is what he said"...I shall never rest until I have undone the harm I did to so many well-meaning, innocent Negroes who through my own evangelistic zeal now believe in him even more fanatically and more blindly than I did." -- on those he encouraged to follow Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad.

Forty years after his death, the righteous influence of Malcolm X is still motivating and influencing individuals all around the world to fight for their human rights. To read more about this man and his role in the movement. Click on the link below:
