Religion opened Malcolm X"s eyes and brought to light what truly was going on in his black and white world. Religion made him more mature as a male and he started to appreciate his black heritage. It made him want blacks to separate into their own nation and some positive impacts he had on the Nation of Islam is he gained power,respect, showed great leadership, he converted people, and became a minister and "second" face of Islam. Negative impact he had was he started preaching to much hate toward whites and some Muslim followers thought he was becoming to powerful. In the film he lead a lead a march to the hospital and dismissed them with the raise of a hand showing off his power. Another example in the film is when he became Elijah Muhammad's minister showing leadership and how he was becoming the "second" face of Islam. In one of the articles it said he held speeches to promote the ways and view of the Islamic religion to convert people. The Nation of Islam had a positive affect in his life because it opened his eyes to the evilness and corruptness of the government and white people, one negative affect it had on his life is that it killed him after all the lies behind the nation came to truth and he spoke out on them.
