Title: The Transformation


1
The Transformation
  • Minister Malcolm

2
The Son
  • Malcolm found two main themes attractive the
    idea of the white man as the devil and the
    "affirmation of black people's cultural history
    going back to the continent of Africa, before the
    European slave trade and the infamous 'peculiar
    institution' in north America."

3
The Mother Continent
  • "the utter rejection of white values and the
    embracing of black history and culture--lay at
    the heart of EM's teachings, and they became the
    center of M's philosophy.

4
The Father Figure
  • However, m was not only converted to em's ideas
    but to the man himself. "

5
  • He educated himself slowly and painfully, copying
    words out of the dictionary. He read everything
    he could get his hands on.

6
Minister Malcolm
  • Malcolm was paroled in 1952 just as MLK was about
    to begin his second year of his PhD at BU. He
    left mass and went to Detroit where his brother
    hooked him up with a job at the furniture store.

7
The Emotional Impact
  • In a month's time after he arrived in Detroit he
    met Elijah Muhammad when temple no. 1 visited
    temple no. 2 in Chicago where the NOI was
    headquartered.

8
Fishing
  • Malcolm spent a lot of time "fishing" or
    recruiting for the NOI. He was not satisfied
    with the progress he was making in trying to
    recruit his "poor, ignorant, brainwashed black
    brother."

9
Certain Realities
  • Malcolms experience in the ghetto lead him to
    believe that the masses of blacks could not be
    intergrationalists nor nonviolent.

10
Could Not Trust
  • Although Malcolm had some good experiences (the
    Swerlins, Jewish male friend, Sophia, even Mr.
    Ostrowski (who meant well)) with whites his
    upbringing in the ghetto taught him that whites
    could not be trusted.

11
The Difference
  • Martin was darker skinned than Malcolm (this
    "meant that his immediate family history had
    suffered the violence of rape, as had the family
    of so many African Americans.

12
The Hood
  • The north promised to be the promised land which
    was far from the reality. they expected to find
    freedom, living, working, socializing. What they
    found was that they were cramped . .

13
Other Saviors
  • There were other saviors--"Father Divine, Daddy
    Grace and Elder Micheaux." Malcolm X would
    become a savior for many through a life devoted
    to Elijah Muhammad.

14
He Understood
  • Malcolm understood the rage and frustration of
    everyday blacks and could reach them as no others
    could.
  • Malcolm became a vital part of the NOI--he was an
    effective missionary for the nation. He
    established temples in Boston, and Philadelphia.

15
Action
  • It was the Hinton Johnson affair that garnered
    for Malcolm for the larger black community.
    Johnson was a Black male who was severely beaten
    by the police. X assembled the FOI in front of
    the police station.

16
  • Malcolm believed in telling the truth just like
    the prophets of the Bible. He needed to tell
    that truth about the Northern white liberals and
    referred to them as "shrewdly camouflaged
    racists."

17
  • Malcolm was very critical of civil rights leaders
    although at first, because of the position of the
    black Muslims, in the interest of unity he did
    not name anyone of them by name.

18
The Debater
  • He was a master debater. He responded to white
    questions in different ways. He would bob and
    weave as if sizing up his opponent. The civil
    rights leaders avoided debating him in public
    because of his skill.
