I see myself as more of a Malcolm X type of public figure because he believed that things would get better by taking action and not waiting for things to get better. He was not a bad person even though he wasn’t perfect. He didn’t let things from his past get in the way of achieving what he wanted for himself and his people. I’m drawn to him because his way of thinking was somewhat different from the other civil rights leaders from his time. he wanted to get things down by any means necessary even if that meant he had to die or take the life’s of others that’s how I know that he was passionate about the way he wanted things to be. Malcolm X is my role model not just because he was famous but because of the hate he endured and all the racism he had to go through, all the stuff he had to put up with he turned it into something that he could take and make him stronger. The changes that he wanted and the freedom that we so desperately need we have now because of him and his vision of the black community in the future. He didn’t just change things in his own community he changed things for blacks in communities around the whole nation and I have so much respect for him and who he is and what he’s done.
