Racial discrimination is a problem American people have tried to solve since colonial era. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X rose in the 1960s, they not only influenced the civil rights movement, but also tried to solve the racial discrimination problem of this country. On February 16, 1965, Malcolm X announced a speech titled "Not only American issues" but it is a world problem. In his speech, he provided a theory on the relationship between media and racism. It is still effective today. At the time of reading Malcolm's tone was very angry, and his theory of image production sounded absurd.
Our reading will include Malcolm X's autobiography (Malcolm X); Malcolm X, including any necessary means: Malcolm X (Malcolm X) writing and speech, next fire (James Baldwin), going to the mountain Tell me (James Baldwin), go see people (James Baldwin) and Malcolm of James Corn, Martin and America: a nightmare. Also included are at least two field trips of Harlem's walking tour and a tour to Malcolm X and Betty Shabaz Memorial and Education Center in the Otto Ballroom premises.
Alex Haley's Malcolm X Autobiography details the life from the birth of Malcolm X to the present. This book takes you to Malcolm X's life; pain, pain, joy, victory, uncertainty and everything that creates this person. I am not a bookmaker, but I can not resist sharing lessons learned from this wonderful individual. When American racial discrimination and discrimination spread, black men who opposed it posed a serious danger to their lives. Malcolm is one of those who is not afraid to say the truth. He knew he was in danger, but he kept on sticking. Several of his African Americans were shocked by his courage.
Americans often say that Malcolm X is "the blackest in America" (p. 366). They believe Malcolm X emphasizes only the isolation of violence and black and white against white people. But is this assumption about Malcolm X true? It is totally different. The image of Malcolm X as a symbol of "black power" is not true, it is a myth of media production. I admit Malcolm X is a radical activist but I tried to improve the lives of the black people and to distinguish between blacks and whites.
