The 2 would marry in 1919 and migrate to USA, where Mama Louise became Branch Secretary for the UNIA-ACL, reporter for the Negro World Newspaper and mother of seven children. She was known to teach her children the value of health, self reliance and agriculture. She provided all her children their own plot of land where they could grow and harvest their own crops.
EARL LITTLE
The Father of Omowale Malcolm X. Born in Reynolds, Georgia, he grew to become an unrepentant advocate of Garveyism, as Branch President of the UNIA-ACL in Omaha, Nebraska among other cities. Malcolm X said “the image of him that made me proudest was his crusading and militant campaigning with the words of Marcus Garvey”. Earl Little was assassinated in 1931, as a result of his refusal to cease organising among Afrikan people. Earl Little was the father of 10 Children, whom he raise with the values of Garveyism.
ELLA COLLINS-LITTLE
Ella Collins-Little was the Elder Daughter of Earl Little and Elder Sister of Omowale Malcolm X. She had a hand in raising him in his teens and guided his development while he was in prison. It was Mama Ella that funded Malcolm X’s trips to Afrikam Arabia & Asia and she became a leading member of the Organisation of Afro-American Unity. Mama Ella, along with her son Rodnell Collins, would later write the book “Seventh Child”, that explored the paternal history of the little family all the ay back to the Afrikan Continent; as well as the work of Malcolm X in building the OAAU.
BETTY SHABAZZ
The wife of Omowale Malcolm X. Born in 1934, she was raised in Detroit and later studied education in Alabama. She later moved to New York to study nursing, during which time a fellow student invited her to a meeting of the Nation of Islam. She would later join and marry the minister of Mosque No. 7 – Malcolm X. They had 6 children together, two of whom Mama Betty was pregnant with when she and her four older daughters, witnessed the assassination of Malcolm X in 1925. In very diffulct circumstances, Mama Betty would raise her 6 Daughters and among many other accomplishments – earn a PhD in Education in 1975. Prior to this in 1968, she served as Vice President of the Republic of New Afrika! A post in which she served through out the 70’s.
SHABAZZ CHILDREN
Mama Betty Shabazz & Omowale Malcolm X had 6 daughters: Attallah Shabazz, Qubilah Shabazz, Ilyasah Shabazz, Gamila Lumumba Shabazz, Malikah Shabazz & Malaak Shabazz. Gamila, carries the name Lumumba as a result of the influence and impact that Papa Patrice Lumumba had on Omowale Malcolm X. Sadly, Malikah Shabazz passed away in 1921; but many of the daughters preserve the work of their parents in their own way. Attallah Shabazz speaks regularly on their legacy Malaak Shabazz served as president of the UN Sub-Commission on Human Rights for the Elimination of Racism and Discrimination; Ilyasah Shabazz has written an number of books on her parents and the daughters as a collective are very much involved in theMalcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center.
MALCOLM SHABAZZ
The Granddaughter of Malcolm X & Betty Shabazz, through their daughter Qubilah. Malcolm was born in 1984. After a some what troubled childhood, Malcolm seemed to be turning a course likened to the legacy fo of his Grandparents. He could be found at varioes meetings with Black Nationalist Circles including the founding of the Black Star Action Network International. His activism took on an international dimension. He accompanied Cynthia McKinney in s delegation to Libya. He would meet with the children of Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba and various other luminaries. He was vocal onmany issues from the prison industrial complex to solidarity with Palestine. In 2013, he was arrested by the FBI, shortly after which he wrote a public letter detailing the harassment he was experiencing at the hands of US authorities. Sadly a few months later, Malcolm Shabazz was assassinated in Mexico on 9th May 2013.
MARCUS GARVEY
The Most Honourbale Marcus Mosiah Garvey is the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association & African Communities League (UNIA-ACL). Malcolm X’s parents met in the ranks of the movement and raised their children according to its teachings. Malcolm’s older Wesley reports that Papa Garvey used ton visit the home of Earl and Louise Little in the mid 1920’s. He also reports that he and his brothers introduced Malcolm to the NOI as an organisation much like the movement of of Papa Garvey. Omowale Malcolm X declared his work with the OAAU represented “the first step that has been taken, brothers and sisters, since Garvey died, to actually establish contact between the 22 million Black Americans with our brothers and sisters back home…” Indeed, during these years, Malcolm X was under the tutilege of many Garveyites such as Carlos Cooks & Mama Mariamme Sammade.
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
Born in Sandersville, Georgia, 1897 – Elijah Muhammad become the founder and leader of the Nation of Islam in 1930. Prior to this however, he was a member of the UNIA-ACL in the 1920’s, some say serving as a Corporal in the ranks of the Universal African Legion. Many of the Children of Earl & Louise Little joined the NOI, impressed by its similarities to the UNIA-ACL. The NOI became the environment in which Malcolm X honed his leadership and organisational skills, & Elijah Muhammad his leader, teacher & guide. Elijah Muhammad appointed Malcolm as National Spokesperson of the NOI. Under Elijah Muhammad’s Leadership, the NOI built a range of institutions serving the needs of Black people in the USA, from drug rehabilitation to a formidable business empire. Despite the personal & political differences which resulted in Malcolm’s departure form the NOI, he continued to acknowledge the militant contribution it made to the Black Liberation fight.
ABDULRAHAMAN
Abdulrahman Mohamed Babu was an Revolutionary Pan-Afrikanist leader from Zanibar. He played a key role in the Zanibar Revolution and the anti colonial fight in East Afrika. When Zanibar joined Tanganika (to form Tanzania), Babu served as a minister in the government of Julius Nyerere. When Omowale Malcolm X visisted Tanzania, he formed a good relationship with Babu and considered him a genuine revolutionary. Babu visited the USA in 1964 and spoke alongside Malcolm X at meetings of the OAAU.
QM AUDLEY MOORE
Queen Mother Moore joined the Garvey Movement at the tender age of 17 years old. She passed away at 98 years of age (1997), still fighting strong as the “Mother of the Reparations Movement”. It is a little know fact that Queen Mother Moore was among many Black Nationalists who were educating Omowale Malcolm X in Harlem, sharpening his Pan-Afrikan analysis. Following his passing, she joined many of the activists that Omowale Malcolm X had been organising with in the formation of the Republic of New Afrika.
ROBERT F. WILLIAMS
Robert F. Williams was born 26th February 1925; we are therefore also celebrating the centenary of his birth this year. in 1964, Robert Williams was elected as president of the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM) – a Revolutionary Black Nationalist organisation that advocated self-defence and nationhood for Afrikan people. Omowale Malcolm X joined RAM in 1964. RAM’s leadership decided operate as an underground organisation, and with the develop of the OAAU, Omowale Malcolm X was to lead the overground aspect of the same movement.
QM MARIAMNE SAMAD
Queen Mama Mariamne Samad was another of the Garveyites who was crucial Omowale Malcolm X’s Black Nationalist Pan-Afrikanist development. Mama Samad was born during the UNIA-ACL convention of 1922. She passed away in 2019 as one of the last authentic elders of the movement, still and unrepentant Garveyite.
JOHN H. CLARKE
A name that needs no introduction. One of the greatest Historians and educators that the Afrikan World has ever produced. But while many know of Baba Clarke as the great historian, few know that it was he played a primary role in writing the Aims & Objectives of the Organisation of Afro-American Unity between 1964-1965. This is the document that Omowale Malcolm X was due to present on the he was assassinated. Prior to this however, Baba Clarke was a member of Malcolm X’s ‘cabinet’ of scholars, who educated him of relevant issues. Of course, Baba Clarkes expertise lay in History,
CARLOS COOKS
There are many who consider Carlos Cooks the link between The Most Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey and Omowale Malcolm X. He founded the The Afrikan Nationalist Pioneer Movement in 1941, which was one of the key Garveyite organisations operating in New York. He was among those that organised annual Garvey Day celebrations in Harlem, at which Omowale Malcolm X spoke. His name is little known, partly because he deliberately avoided publicity and aggrandisement. But in the movement, he was greatly respected – by Omowale Malcolm X no less.
