Malcolm X was an African-American, Black Nationalist leader who dedicated his entire life to freeing Black people of the world from the bondage of segregation and racism. Unlike Dr. King, Malcolm X encouraged Blacks worldwide to reject racism by any means necessary and didn’t support non-violence. Before he became an icon, Malcolm was sent to jail for 10 years on charges of larceny. It was during this period that he read several books that irrevocably changed his thinking. When he left prison, he joined the Nation of Islam and embraced the ideology of Black Nationalism. He promoted the ideals of the organisation and later became its spokesmen. He was later assassinated by three members of the Nation of Islam on February 21, 1965.

Let’s not be vague
Pres. Eisenhower of the United States ordered Premier Lumumba’s death for resisting the secession of Katanga which contained huge deposits of cobalt, vital to American industries.
Yes, true
Sheikh Karume being an ''icon''!? That's a misrepresentation of facts. Sheikh Karume was a brutal tyrant whose reign of terror will never be forgotten by Zanzibaris.
What Influential was Doe? Killing his people? Dr. President William R. Tolbert was killed because of the influence he had it bringing Africa Together. Get your story straight.
How Influential Was Samuel Doe? Killing his people? President William R. Tolbert was Influential in bringing Africa together that was one of the reasons he was killed. Please get your story straight. Thanks
Yes, it's ridiculous to suggest that tyrants such as Liberia's Samuel Kenyon Doe and Zanzibar's Sheikh Abeid Amani Karume were killed for ''their beliefs''. What beliefs!?
More women were needed on this list because there are PLENTY more. We do ourselves, and those seeking information, a disservice when we limit and erase our Black Women from our history! There are MANY that have sacrificed and stood by their convictions for us to be free. You can search the entire diaspora and they exist. Let's stop selling HERstory short!
Lumumba was killed by the USA
