             Hi, I'm Malcolm X. I was born on May 19,1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. I'm an African-American minister. One of my famous quotes is "Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." My spouse was Betty Shabazz I had six children. My education was from William Mason High School, Mason high school, West Junior High school, and Pleasant Grove Elementary School. 

      I was spokesman for the Nation of Islam until 1964. I was a vocal advocate for black empowerment and the promotion of Islam within the black community. I changed history because of my martyrdom, ideas, and speeches contributed to the development of Black nationalist ideology and the Black Power movement. I also helped to popularize the values of autonomy and independence among African Americans in the 1960s and '70s. I urged my fellow Black Americans to protect themselves against white aggression “by any means necessary,” a stance that often put me at odds with the nonviolent teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. February 21, 1965, in New York City, I was assassinated.
