I think Maclom X deserve a national holiday because he fought for rights just as much as Martin Luther King Jr. did. Even though he did use violence it wasnt for his own for his own purpose. He went to jail and knows what its like to be in gangs, shooting people for no reason, etc. He noticed the things he was doing and decided to change his ways. I just feel like he deserves just as much respect as Martin Luther King Jr. did.

Its about time people start giving him credit. Hes just as important to our history as anyone else. Stop hiding the truth about what he stood for.

YES. He changed his whole life around and stood tall for his people. Respect is long overdue.
