Teach your children about Malcolm X – one of the most influential activists in the Civil Rights movement but the one least taught about. Malcolm X had an interesting life growing up. He rose to fame when he joined the Nation of Islam led by Elijah Muhammad who claimed to be a messenger of Allah. Interestingly Malcolm realised the truth and broke free from the group and embarked on a journey to Makkah for Hajj.
The Malcolm X Fact File takes you through Malcolms life in stages, his childhood, time in school and prison, his family and friendship with Muhammad Ali, a snippet of his letter from Hajj with discussion and comprehension questions at the end too. It is the perfect resource you will need for a study of Malcolm X with your children – aimed at children aged 7-9.
