	Famous Americans, Black History Poster A Brief Moment in History ... Both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X fought for black civil rights in America but their beliefs and methods were opposite in the extreme. They met briefly at a press conference on March 26, 1964. This was the only time they would ever meet. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed in the teachings of Mohandas Gandhi and promoted peaceful methods to achieve equal rights through rallies and civil disobedience. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his efforts to unite the people of the world. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee on the balcony of his hotel. Malcolm X also headed rallies and gave speeches, but had adopted the teachings of Muslim leader Elijah Muhammad, leading him to promote violence in his followers in order for them to achieve the same civil rights accorded to whites. Although he did unite blacks in seaching for equality, his radical ways made him less effective than Martin Luther King, Jr. as a leader on the world stage. He wa assassinated on February 21, 1965, while delivering a speech.

Today, Islam is the world's second-largest religion – more than one billion Muslims live in the Middle East and around the world.The Qur'an lists five duties that all Muslims must fulfill – these are known as the Five Pillars of Faith. Performing these duties makes up much of the day-to-day religious practice of Muslims. The first duty is shahadah, or testimony that “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet!” The next is salah, or prayer. Devout Muslim pray five times daily. The third duty is zakah, the giving of alms, or charity, to the poor. The fourth duty is sawm, or fasting. Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan, the time when Muhammad received the Qur'an.

MALCOLM X BOOKS & DVD/VIDEO

The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X - Malcolm X’s searing memoir belongs on the small shelf of great autobiographies. The reasons are many: the blistering honesty with which he recounts his transformation from a bitter, self-destructive petty criminal into an articulate political activist, the continued relevance of his militant analysis of white racism, and his emphasis on self-respect and self-help for African Americans. And there's the vividness with which he depicts black popular culture - try as he might to criticize those lindy hops at Boston’s Roseland dance hall from the perspective of his Muslim faith, he can’t help but make them sound pretty wonderful. These are but a few examples. The Autobiography of Malcolm X tells an archetypal journey from ignorance and despair to knowledge and spiritual awakening. When Malcolm tells coauthor Alex Haley, “People don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book,” he voices the central belief underpinning every attempt to set down a personal story as an example for others. Although many believe his ethic was directly opposed to Martin Luther King Jr.’s during the civil rights struggle of the ’60s, the two were not so different. Malcolm may have displayed a most un-Christian distaste for loving his enemies, but he understood with King that love of God and love of self are the necessary first steps on the road to freedom.

Islam: A Short History by Karen Armstrong - The picture of Islam as a violent, backward, and insular tradition should be laid to rest, says Karen Armstrong, bestselling author of Muhammad and A History of God. Delving deep into Islamic history, Armstrong sketches the arc of a story that begins with the stirring of revelation in an Arab businessman named Muhammad. His concern with the poor who were being left behind in the blush of his society's new prosperity sets the tone for the tale of a culture that values community as a manifestation of God. Muhammad's ideas catch fire, quickly blossoming into a political empire. As the empire expands and the once fractured Arabs subdue and overtake the vast Persian domain, the story of a community becomes a panoramic drama. With great dexterity, Armstrong narrates the Sunni-Shi’ite schism, the rise of Persian influence, the clashes with Western crusaders and Mongolian conquerors, and the spiritual explorations that traced the route to God. Armstrong brings us through the debacle of European colonialism right up to the present day, putting Islamic fundamentalism into context as part of a worldwide phenomenon.
