Malcolm C. Macpherson 's World War I And World Heavyweight Championship

The author’s purpose for writing the book was for the reader to gain knowledge of Malcolm X as an individual and not as a phenomenon. He wanted to deliver truths that spanned his brief lifetime.

The Berlin Wall stood for almost thirty years. The wall represented post-war repression of human rights, disrespect, conflict and disharmony. The Cold War threatened the world with the risk of military conflict, that if it had escalated into nuclear confrontation between powers, there would exist complete annihilation of human kind. The sad reality is that war could be fought using nuclear weapons. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon that has tremendous destructive potential. "If there is any hope to be found in nuclear weapons, it of the fact that they have finally made war too terrible to contemplate" ("The Making of..." 2). The history of the atomic bomb goes back to 1934. An Italian-American physicist named Enrico Fermi began experimentation on uranium and neutrons. Not completely convinced of his experiments being a success, two other scientists repealed Fermi 's work in 1938. Otto Frisch and Lise Meitner proved that the "uranium nuclei in Fermi 's experiment had been fissioned by the neutrons fired at them" ("Atomic Bomb" 1). The results of these experiments lead to events of the beginning of the Cold War.

Well known scientist Albert Einstein, who fled from Nazi persecution, and Enrico Fermi who escaped Fascist Italy, were now living in the United States, on which they both agreed that the President should be enlightened of the vulnerability of atomic technology that was in the hands of Axis power. Fermi made an attempt and travelled to Washington in March to express his involvement with the government officials, who showed little to no concern. Einstein who as well shared a great concern in this topic; penned a letter to President Roosevelt imploring the development of an atomic research program later that year. Roosevelt saw neither prerequisite nor adequacy for such a project, but agreed to proceed gradually. In late 1941, the American effort to scheme and build an atomic bomb which received the code name as the Manhattan Project. The very first research was placed at only a few universities such as Columbia University, University of Chicago, and the University in California at Berkeley. The

Edward Woods spills a great deal of ink throughout his books to promote the view that Malcolm was ‘a dangerous extremist' who was ‘bent on undermining the social, cultural and religious founding of the nation through "Black Nationalism"' as well as through ‘the propagation of the

The author affectively uses The Autobiography of Malcolm X as a primary source, as well as other accounts and articles doing with those close with X. Despite this, the use of multiple sources became confusing as a result of the lack of citations and multiple writers. Since each chapter had a different writer, reading became inconsistent. It is notable that the author attempts to avoid disorganization by creating subheading and a well structured table of contents. Hunter also does a remarkable job of adding an index, timeline, appendix of documents, and additional research page in order to allow readers to dive deeper into the topic. Through all this work and attempted organization, Hunter is able to emphasize to the audience the legacy Malcolm X left behind as a result of the trials and tribulations faced during his

It has been said by many scholars that the true victor of the First World War was disease and illness. Statistics show that over one third of military related deaths were caused by a disease/illness of some sort. To put that in more of a numerical visual, there were about ten million casualties in the span of World War I, this is excluding civilians, only military personnel. Of that ten million, about two million deaths were caused by disease/illness (Nadège Mougel, 2009). This number could me more, but about six million soldiers were reported as missing, or presumed dead.

The movie and book tells the life story of an interesting and important man. As a sociological study, it provides fascinating insights into ghetto life and the ways which one man learned to survive in the ghetto. As a religious work - which is perhaps the way Malcolm intended the book to be read - it tells of his struggle to find his God. Yet it is as a political work that the book rather than the movie has had its strongest impact. Through his story, Malcolm has continued to exert great influence over the various black radical political movements since his death.

The word racism was and continues to be a common word used to distinguish the inferior from the superior, furthermore the blacks from the whites. African Americans were denied several rights including eating and sitting in the same section as a white man or women. They were murdered and tortured for naïve actions, even children were harmed during this time. In order for one to understand such undignified actions, one must also understand that these actions took place in a whole different kind of world. Jack Johnson is an excellent example of a “New Negro” a word referred to African Americans in the 20 Th century. Jack Johnson differed from any other black man or women. He would not apologize for being black, but embrace it as if it was like a ribbon. He lived his life demanding equality, slept with whomever he pleased, and lived a life nothing short of that of a free man.

He’s now relapsing seeing that he can't get drugs while he's in jail. This turns him into a evil person he started to talk down upon religions so much that inmates would call him satan . One day a man by the name of Bimbi told him “ he'll be smarter if he used his head” . Every since then Malcolm self taught himself how to read and also write. This help malcolm because it made him forget about his addiction and also it perfect his vocabulary . Malcolm's brother Philbert wrote him a letter telling how he has discovered the natural religion for the black man which was the Nation of Islam.The next letter that his brother send doesn’t say anything about religion. It just says that he shouldn't eat any more pork nor smoke any more cigarettes until he gets out of prison. To malcolm he thinks that his brother has some kind of scheme to get him out, but in reality it's just a different way of getting him to convert to the Nation of Islam. Malcolm eventually got transferred to a new prison. This prison help malcolm perfect his literature the prison provided , educational programs, lenient visiting rules, and even a library that Malcolm can peruse during his free time. His brother Philbert came to visit him to tell him more about the nation of islam and that hes should write a letter to Elijah muhammad which is one of the leaders of the nation of islam. He writes to Elijah Muhammad and

Not only did Malcolm literally eat, sleep, and breathe the Nation, but he also greatly admired and respected “the messenger”, Elijah Muhammad. In Malcolm’s eyes, Elijah Muhammad could do no wrong. Malcolm’s friendship and adoration for Mr. Muhammad was a huge event in Malcolm’s life because Mr. Muhammad taught Malcolm everything he needed to know

Fermi was worried that the ruler of Italy would follow the laws that Hitler was putting in place. But Fermi ignored his worries and focused on his studies. Fermi was studying atoms. Atoms are made up electrons, neutrons and protons. The center of the atoms is a nucleus. In 1934 Fermi was doing experiments by shooting neutrons into the nuclei of various atoms. One atom that caught his eye was the uranium atom.(Gonzales page 11). When he shot neutrons into the atom the atom would change, he didn’t know how it was changing though. What he didn’t realize was when he shot the neutrons into the atom,that the atom was really splitting into two. He recorded his experiment in his notes and showed it to other scientists to see if they could find out what was happening.(Gonzales pg 13) One of the scientist was Lise Meitner, she was a physicist who worked with German scientists, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman. (Gonzales pg

The Autobiography of Malcolm X was about one African Americans struggle during a time of extreme racism and discrimination to make a name for himself. Malcolm had many life experiences before tragically being shot and killed. He was a hustler in Harlem, a porter for a railroad, and was eventually a minister for the black Islam movement lead by Elijah Mahammad. Malcolm Little lived a very interesting life to become the man he will be remembered as.

Malcolm X is one of the most controversial figures in recent history. The mark he left on history is substantial however most people do not know the true story about his life and his legacy. In 1992 a feature film surrounding Malcolm’s life was released.While the movie is mostly accurate is suffers from the fact that it is a hollywood movie.

Malcolm X is known for being one of the more radical Civil Rights Leaders even though he never called himself one. Instead, he was a minister for the Nation of Islam. Before his trip to Mecca, Malcolm told an identity story at the 5-year-old level, it was an innovative story that taught that the white man was the devil and blacks and whites should be separated. After his trip to Mecca, his story changed drastically to be an identity story at the 10-year-old level, it is an innovative story with visionary elements that said that Islam was the way toward eliminating the race problem in America and that there was indeed a way for blacks and whites to live in harmony. These stories were influenced by his life experiences, education and the

The novel details Malcolm’s early life in a racially discriminatory America. It expands on Malcolm's difficulty childhood dealing with the death of his father and constant threats from the KKK. Malcolm explains how he had to become a hustler to survive and finds himself in the Nation of Islam. The Muslim community ultimately leads to his demise when he is shot down by a black Muslim at one of his speeches. The tone of the book is full of passion and anger.
