Malcolm Little was born in 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska, to a very poor family of eight children. His father was a preacher and a vocal black nationalist, advocating equality well before the start of the Civil Rights movement. Malcolm faced frequent racism and harassment from white supremacists because of his father’s affiliations, witnessing his house burn to the ground when he was only four and, two years later, losing his father, who had received repeated death threats and was found dead under suspicious circumstances. When Malcolm was only 12, his mother had a nervous breakdown and was institutionalized.
