Malcolm X: A rebel voice that continues to beat at the heart of the Afro-descendant struggle

On February 21, 1965, the leader of the fight for the rights of the Afro-descendant people of the United States (USA), Malcolm X, was assassinated, who was the victim of gunshots that blinded his life, after giving a speech in New York City.

Born in the city of Omaha, Nebraska, on May 19, 1925, under the name of Malcolm Little, this distinguished fighter, after being imprisoned, converted to the religion of Islam, from where, thanks to his ease of speech and his intelligence, he stood out as an activist in the struggle of the Afro-descendant people.

Unlike Martin Luther King, Malcolm X's struggle was not submissive and his speech transcended the objective, recognizing that racism in the United States was a derivative of the capitalist system, and therefore urged the construction of a society based on justice, equality and solidarity, which represented socialism.

The irredeeming spirit of Malcolm continues to beat in the hearts of the majority of Afro-descendant people who are still fighting against the system that condemns them to poverty and inequality, in a society that promotes the supremacy of the elites composed of racists who dominate power in the North American country.
