Today makes it exactly 48 years ago that Malcolm X was murdered prematurely. This dead American remained one of the few men that helped to shape the destiny of the United States of America in the 20th century as the nation that had struggled for centuries for true racial equality, integration and justice. The history of the American nation and the chapter on the American civil rights movements can never be complete without mentioning the key roles played by Malcolm X in his very short, controversial, colorful and very eventful life.
Malcolm X to some Americans was a black racist, anti-American, anti-white, black supremacist, anti-semitic and a promoter of violence. To the other Americans, Malcolm X was a courageous advocate for the racial equality and economic justice for all African Americans, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for her crimes of slavery, segregation and racial discrimination against black Americans.
Today makes it exactly 48 years ago that Malcolm X was assassinated in a manner that is still mysterious till today. Malcolm X's true legacies and his rightful place in America are now finally in the hands of time, history and posterity the three true judges to determine.
