Malcolm X Reflection
Malcolm X had started in the Midwest where a whole lot of discrimination and racial violence had occurred. Malcolm X’s family decided to move to Michigan where they still got looked down on and violence had happened. White’s had killed Malcolm X’s father and forced his mother into insanity.

Also it made me feel for Malcolm X how it must have been in those times having to deal with obstacles all the time and to overcome them to stay strong to get what he wants out of life which was blacks to be and they moved to Africa. The book kind changed my view of the world because I never knew there was another person who had different views for blacks on how they should be treated otherwise my views of the world stayed the same for me. The way I feel about what Malcolm X had to go through in 1960. Racism is sad an upset because they didn’t have the same rights as others but still came out on top through the worse times which makes it
