Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother (Louise Norton Little) was the lady of the house who took care of eight children. His father (Earl Little) was a Baptist minister and he also supported the Black nationalist which caused his family to move two times before he turned four. In 1929 the family's home was burned to the ground and two years later his father was found dead lying on top of the trolley tracks. The police came to the terms that both of the incidents were just accidents. His mother could not n't take the pain of her husband's death that she had an emotional breakdown and she was put in a mental institution. After she was put in there her children were separated and put in different foster homes.
