Malcolm X is the newest member of the Nebraska Hall of Fame, first Black honoree
Fox News
Malcolm X is being inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame. He is the first Black person to be inducted. Fifteen years ago he was rejected as too controversial.
"Malcolm X used the lessons he learned early in life and his intellectual power, dedication and perseverance in the fight for freedom and equality for all during the civil rights movement in America," said commission chairman Ron Hull. "His work and his legacy continue to impact the citizens of the world."
Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925 as the son of a Baptist preacher. His family left for Milwaukee the following year after threats from the Ku Klux Klan.
