Malcolm X was a man who had a huge impact on gaining rights of black power and racial equality in America. Although he was extremely radical in his speeches and had a horrible lifestyle before converting to Islam, he did change America's view on Muslims. Also, he was largely credited in helping increase the Muslim population greatly. Malcolm X should be the winner of the Achievements in Rights award because he was a radical speaker who helped gain independence and equality for the black Muslims in America.
