Malcolm Little lived with a number of deferent families. All of Malcolm’s family was separated and he attended school until eig

After the pilgrimage, he adopted the name El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.

Malcolm X was announced the national minister for the Nation of Islam and other Ministers of the Nation, especially his close friend, Minister Baines, grew jealous. Elijah Muhammad also became afraid of his best minister who proved to be more famous then he himself. Tensions rose within the Black Muslims, and Malcolm X was sentenced by Muhammad to 90 days of silence after commenting on the assassination of John F. Kennedy by saying “chickens come home to roost.” During the silence, Malcolm decided to leave the nation because of the jealousy of his fellow Muslims. Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam to form the Muslim Mosque, Inc., his own group of Muslims in March of 1964. He began to advocate a more basic black nationalism and said that blacks should control the politics within their own community. Through his speeches, he encouraged his followers to make changes by voting.

In January 1958, Malcolm X married Betty Shazzam, who was also a member of the Nation of Islam. Betty was a nurse for the Nation and she also taught classes at Muslim temples. Betty also ministered to women, therefore Betty and Malcolm had a lot in common.

He made parole in 1952 and undertook organizational work for the Nation of Islam. Malcolm gradually spoke to strangers on the street and under the guidance of Elijah Muhammad, Minister Malcolm X founded mosque temples in Boston, Philadelphia, Harlem, and other places that made national expansion of the movement possible. The membership of the Nation reached nearly 30,000 in 1963, and Malcolm X’s vision was spoken all over. In addition, he helped his friend Minister Baines to create the Black Muslim newspaper, “Muhammad Speaks”. Minister Malcolm X was said to be the only Negro who could stop a race riot or start one. In 1957, he led his first civil rights movement by standing up for a black man who was beaten by the police.

“Our people have made the mistake of confusing the methods with the objectives. As long as we agree on objectives, we should never fall out with each other just because we believe in different methods or tactics or strategy. We have to keep in mind at all times that we are not fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as free humans in this society.” (Malcolm X 1965)
