On Feb. 21, 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down by somebody as he was about to give a speech at the Audobon Ballroom in Harlem, N.Y. Malcolm X was an African American activist (积极分子). His being killed was a shocking blow to the Black liberation (解放) movement. Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska. He was the son of Earl Little, a Baptist preacher, and his wife, Louise. The family moved to Lansing, Michigan, shortly after Malcolm’s birth. Earl Little was an outspoken supporter of social and economic independence for blacks and a supporter of the “Back to Africa” movement of black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. In 1931 Earl Little was killed, probably murdered by white terrorists be-cause of his political and social activism. His father’s death had a disastrous effect on Malcolm and his family. His mother suffered a nervous breakdown, and the welfare department took the eight little children away from her. Malcolm was placed in a foster home (寄养家庭) and then in reform school. In 1941 he went to live with his half-sister in Boston, Massachusetts. There Malcolm turned to a life of crime, including drug dealing and armed robbery. When he was 20, Malcolm received a sentence of ten years in prison. While in prison, Malcolm read widely and developed an interest in the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist religious movement whose members were known as Black Muslims. Malcolm studied the teachings of the leader of the Black Muslims, Elijah Muhammad, who advocated (提倡) an independent black state. When Malcolm was released from prison in 1952, he went to Detroit, Michigan, and joined the Nation of Islam temple in that city. Malcolm X rose rapidly in the Nation of Islam organization. His natural speaking ability made Malcolm X a popular public speaker, but his rapid rise made Elijah Muhammad and other Black Muslim leaders unhappy. And later they differed in some problems. In early 1964, Malcolm X broke with the Nation of Islam. Many problems surrounding the death of Malcolm X remain unresolved. Many people believe — and rightfully so — that the real killers were never caught. Undoubtedly, the greatest beneficiary (受益者) of Malcolm’s death was the U.S. government.
