His father was an activist for the pan African Movement and also the area leader for an Indigenous organization called the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His father taught him the values of black rights, the issue of self-determination and the tenets of self-reliance. He was also greatly influenced by Marcus Garvey. He grew up in an atmosphere of great friction. There were a lot of white local groups who were against the black people and would cause a lot of troubles to the family including threats. One of the younger brothers of Malcolm X was lynched and killed violently by the members of a white supremacist group (Klux Klux clan). These early incidents shaped the mind of young Malcolm who would later grow up to hate the whites (Karim, 1971). Ultimately, the family had to shift to Milwaukee after repeated threats from the clan and later to Lansing, Michigan.
