Answer:
Given below is the answer
Explanation:
Malcolm Little was the fourth of Louise Hellen Little and Earl Little's seven children when he was born on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska.
Marcus Garvey, a Pan-African revolutionary, was a favourite of both Louise and Earl, a flamboyant Baptist preacher. They instilled self-reliance and black pride in their children while Earl served as a local leader of the Universal Negro Improvemet Association and Louise acted as secretary and "branch reporter," bringing news of regional UNIA activities to Negro World.
Earl's UNIA activities were allegedly "spreading unrest" and as a result, the family moved to Wisconsin in 1926 and then quickly to Lansing, Michigan as a result of threats from the Ku Klux Klan.
There, a white racist organisation called the Black Legion routinely tormented the family. In 1929, the family's house caught fire.
Earl died when Malcolm was six years old in what was deemed to be a streetcar accident, despite the fact that Malcolm's mother Louise thought Earl had been killed by the Black Legion. Malcolm X recalls how upsetting it was as a boy to hear the persistent rumours that white racists killed his father. Four of his father's brothers were killed, according to Malcolm X, who claimed that later. He exhibited varied opinions on the matter as an adult.
Late in 1938, Malcom's mother experienced a nervous breakdown and was admitted to a hospital for the crazy. The kids were split up and placed in foster homes.
Malcolm Little performed well in junior high school but dropped out after a white teacher advised him that his goal of becoming a lawyer was "no" possible.
