Being an orphan is one of the most difficult things a child can go through. Malcolm X lost his father to a suspicious death in 1931 when his body was found laying across the town’s trolley tracks. Police ruled it an accident but Malcolm and his family knew it was from the Black Legion. Losing your father is always hard, especially on boys because they no longer have a person to guide them to be a genuine man.
