Malcolm Little Wiki Biography

Malcolm Little was born on 19 May 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska USA, into Louise and Earl Little’s family with seven siblings, and was widely known as an activist and an advocate for the rights of black people. His father was a minister and an activist as well. Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965.

So just how rich was Malcolm X? According to authoritative sources, this activist and minster had a net worth of $150,000, accumulated from his careers in the mentioned fields.

As his father was a minister and activist who was working hard on spreading his message, the family was threatened by the members of the Ku Klux Klan, who stated that he was ‘’spreading trouble’’, thus the family had to move to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and after that to Lansing, Michigan. Earl ended up being shot when Malcolm was only six years old, and Louise was put in a mental hospital when Malcolm was 13 years old, after having a breakdown when left by her then-partner.

Over the course of seven years, from the age of 14 until 21, Malcolm had plenty of jobs with his half-sister, Ella Little-Collins. When he grew up, Malcolm moved to Flint, Michigan and after that to Harlem, a neighborhood of New York, where he engaged in racketeering, robbery and drug dealing, among other criminal activities. Besides that, he engaged in sexual activities with other men, for money. During this time, he became friends with John Elroy Sanford, and the two of them aspired to become comedians, which Sanford ultimately succeeded in, becoming Redd Foxx. Spending time in prison, Malcolm discovered The Nation of Islam, the organization which believed that all black people should return to Africa, where they would be free from white dominance. Additionally, his brother Reignald told him to stop eating pork and quit cigarettes,  and so he became a Muslim, even though he was known as Satan prior to becoming religious.

In 1948, Malcolm began writing to Elijah Muhammad, who told him to pray to Allah and never again engage in problematic or destructive behavior, and after his parole in 1952, Little visited Muhammad, subsequently becoming an assistant minister of the Nation’s Temple Number One. In the upcoming period, he moved upward on the ladder in the mentioned ministry, and by the end of the ‘50s, he had changed his name to Malcolm Shabazz or Malik el-Shabazz, however, he was still better known as Malcolm X. In 1959, he was featured in a television report about the Nation of Islam, entitled ‘’The Hate That Hate Produced’’, and throughout the following years, he continued teaching about his beliefs and was ultimately seen as the second most influential leader of the Nation of Islam. He ultimately left The Nation, and founded a religious organization – Muslim Mosque, Inc. – and a secular group named the Organization of Afro-American Unity that advocated Pan-Africanism, both seen as rivals to The Nation.

In 1964, he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, which is obligatory for every Muslim individual, but in the following year, he was convinced that Nation of Islam, which he had previously left, was going to kill him; eventually, during a meeting Malcolm was shot in the chest, murdered by three members of the Nation, who were subsequently sentenced to life in jail.

In his private life, Malcolm X was married to Betty Shabazz, whom he met at one of his lectures. However, due to the Nation’s teachings, they weren’t supposed to be seeing each other in private, thus they had to spend time while surrounded others. They married in 1958, and the couple had six daughters.
