MALCOLM X (EL-HAJJ MALIK ELSHABAZZ) By: Rhian Carson INTRODUCTION I'm doing my project on, the one and only….MALCOLM X! Malcolm X was a very interesting civil rights activist. And this is a ABC power point on him! ARRESTED While Malcolm was in Harlem, he was arrested for theft. He was sentenced for 10 years, but he got out after 6. http://gatheringforces.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/mxt.jpg BROTHERS AND SISTERS After Malcolm’s dad was murdered, his mother went crazy. She was checked into a mental hospital, so Malcolm was split up from his brothers and sisters. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/malcolmx/gallery/images/g_04.jpg CHILDREN Malcolm had 8 daughters, but he only met 6 of them.
