"Malcolm X" shows a boy reared in segregation-era Detroit who turned to a life of crime -- until he saw the light of Islam behind bars. After he rejected his former identity and adopted the moniker "Malcolm X," the newly-born social leader channeled his rage into educating Black America about its vital, though suppressed, history. He also warned whites that his community would neither tolerate discrimination nor limit itself to nonviolence in its quest for equality. Instead, Malcolm X and his followers decided to achieve their aims "by any means necessary." This series illuminates historical figures in both their public and private lives.
