Title
The Extent That Malcolm X Achieved His Goals In The Civil Rights Movement And The Legacy He Left Behind
Outline Plan
Define and justify: This project will serve to highlight the role of Malcolm X in the struggle to fight for black civil rights in the civil rights movement in the USA, which was led by many groups at the time such as the NAACP, The Black Panthers and Martin Luther King. I chose to research Malcolm X’s involvement because he expressed the anger, struggle and insistence of black people for freedom. I also thought it would be an interesting topic to do because Malcolm’s advocacy of “black power” and the need for violence to gain civil rights is in direct contrast to Martin Luther King’s non-violent approach.
Aims:
1. To develop research skills which I have not used previously such as the ability to analyse sources
2. To find out if Malcolm X was successful in gaining civil rights for black Americans
3.
Intended approach: I intend to use the internet as there is an online edition of Alex Haley and Malcolm X’s book ‘The autobiography of Malcolm X’ and I plan on using this as my main source as it includes fundamental information about the topic.
I have also planned to watch the documentary ‘Malcolm X: Make It Plain’ by Orlando Bagwell so I could get much closer look at Malcolm’s background and further my knowledge on his movement .
I intend to get a 3rd source from either the school library or local county library.
I intend to make a short paragraphed timeline on the main events leading up to Malcolm’s assassination.
