Did prison help Malcolm x

                

         I think prison helped Malcolm x because he was able to change from a criminal to an activist. while in prison Malcolm began to learn how to read and write which he used to read about slavery and this started his life as an activist for black rights. His brother would convince him to join the Nation of Islam. Malcolm listened to what their leader Elijah Mohammed preached about and soon converted to Islam. Joining the nation of Islam helped Malcolm gain recognition and soon he would be known after they premiered a TV program the hate they preach. i think prison helped Malcolm x because he was able to change his life from being a criminal to joining a movement to better African Americans.
