9. Malcolm X
Needless to say, Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little) was a very influential figure in society, especially when it came to equality for all people. X spoke out against the social and socioeconomic injustices that Black people face, and he encouraged a revolt against the “power structure” in the United States. Malcolm X also encouraged Black people to be business owners and to be financially independent, instead of relying on a White-run society for their jobs and livelihood. He was a part of the Nation of Islam, and while it is believed that members of the religion had him killed out of jealousy, another theory is that the Illuminati marked him for death to silence him and prevent him from influencing others.
