    2. Aims
      1. Malcolm X believed in separatism – blacks living separate from whites. His view changed when he was in prison and he started to like the idea of blacks superiority. He was inspired by Elijah Muhammad. But soon both thought that the only way to live a decent life was by living completely separate from the whites.
      2. Methods
        1. Malcolm believed that the only way to get anywhere was by violent action. He took charge on these occasions and fought with the white people. He gave many speeches insulting the whites.

          1. Malcolm X was involved in the Civil Rights campaign. He was also involved in the Nation of Islam movement which was a black muslim movement. Elijah Muhammad was the leader and founder and Malcolm looked to him as a hero. He was also involved in the Organization for Afro-American Unity.
