Ali and Three Men: Muhamad Ali, Malcolm-X & Elijah Muhammad

Today I watched Michael Mann's Ali, (Will Smith was great) After the movie I searched the characters a little, and here are the results and links.

Muhammad Ali-Haj born January 17, 1942 (as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.), is a retired American boxer.

Malcolm X, (May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965), born Malcolm Little, also known as Detroit Red, El-Hajji Malik El-Shabazz and Omowale, was a longtime spokesman for the Nation of Islam. He was also founder of the Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro-American Unity.

During his life, Malcolm went from being a street-wise Boston hoodlum to one of the most prominent black nationalist leaders in the United States. As a militant leader, Malcolm X advocated black pride, economic self-reliance, and identity politics. He ultimately rose to become a world renowned African American/Pan-Africanist and human rights activist. Malcolm X was assassinated in New York City on February 21, 1965 on the first day of National Brotherhood Week.
