Growing up in elementary and middle school they never even talked about Malcom and all I knew was that he saw violence as an answer for equality. Even in high school I haven't heard a mention of him. Clearly this was a contrast from Martin Luther King's peaceful approach and I certainly got to learn quite a bit about MLK in school. But luckily my mother had a book "Malcom X: The Final Speeches" lying around the house. Now that I've read I feel Malcom X was just as important as Martin Luther King and he was so much more than what I used to think about him. Anybody else think the schools are purposely neglecting his significance to the most important movement in American history? And how do you perceive Malcom X as a person?

The most in depth thing we did on him was watch the film based on his life. Seemed fairly accurate to me. I learned some stuff anyway. I think once he split with the Nation of Islam then he became a lot better. That was not a good group to be a part of. Their leader was a total hypocrite.

I know a few things about the Nation of Islam and based on what I've heard it seems like a "Black Supremacists" religion.

We don't learn about him in history classes because the government viewed him as a radical terrorist. One that hadn't done enough damage to get in the history books. The CIA had him on their watch list, and were even supposedly trying to assassinate him. http://readersupportednews.org/pm-section/31-31/4707-real-black-history-month-malcolm-x-evidence-of-us-intelligence-assassination The US viewed MLK as a threat, enough to put him in jail for protesting. But MLK was a Christian minister, and a part of the US was ok with that. Malcolm had muslim ties. Something to this day is still not understood by the US. I can easily come to some conclusions why we never read about him based on these two things.
