How did malcolm x affect the nation during the civil war times?
He didn’t live during the civil war (1860). I think you mean the civil rights period of the 1960’s. Malcolm X was a key influence on building black pride and blacks taking responsibility for their own future. He was more militant and radical than Martin Luther King and had an influence on the more radical elements of African American ideas. Denzel Washington starred as Malcolm X in a movie that was released a few years ago. You might want to find a copy at Blockbuster or somewhere and view it to get some ideas.
