    Malcolm X and Willow both decided to convert to the Islamic religion. Willow immersed herself in a different community (Cairo) and faced some consequences due to her ethnicity and distance from home (United States). Similar to Willow, Malcolm X became involved with the Islamic community, but faced some barriers for his distinct beliefs and perspectives from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Unfortunately, Malcolm’s separation from Muhammad endangered his life. Nevertheless, if Willow could have interviewed Malcolm X about Islam and conversion, she would ask him about his decision to detach from the Islamic community, his strategy to emancipate black people, his identity as a Muslim, and having his conversion challenged at the Hajj (or if he ever questioned his own conversion).…

    Malcolm X's entire life was made of truly extortionary events, and his childhood was no exception to this. After reading Malcolm X autobiography, it was hard to pick just two major events for the boyhood of Malcolm, but after careful reading, I believe that the death of his father was one such event. The death of his father had a tremendous impact on young Malcolm. This event eventually forced Malcolm’s family apart, when his mother was admitted to an asylum, because of the death of her husband. Undoubtedly, hearing that his father was killed at the hands of white supremacist played a huge role in Malcolm hatred for white people.…

    For this paper, I had the privilege of interviewing my mother, Ms. Avianne Philbert. Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, at the age of 12 she and her family moved to America as many did in order to find a better opportunity to raise their family. Upon asking her what her take on American history is, we got to talking longer and discovered that her favorite American History movie is Malcolm X. She reflected on what black history and religion in the movie meant to her, and how it relates to America from its creation to its current state. At the end of the interview, her ultimate view was that Malcolm X and his change from the beginning of his journey to the end is much like America then and now, in that when the past is used as a learning tool, even the staunchest of ideologies can change for the better.…
