Biography – Sister Betty Shabazz X
Nobody seems to know Betty Sanders early life and family history. She was born, however, in Detroit, Michigan, and is the daughter of Shelman Sandlin and a woman named Sanders. Sanders was an illegitimate child, one with education disturbed, and was dedicated to foster parents, growing up in a beautiful private house in Detroit. Because of his difficult childhood, She has dedicated her life to the care of African-American children, health and sex education.
After high school, Shabazz left the comfortable house of his adoptive parents in Detroit to study at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), a college well known historically black in Alabama. It was at Alabama that she met her first racial hostilities. She did not understand the causes for racial issues, and his parents refused to recognize these issues. She mentioned this in an autobiographical essay she wrote in 1992, published in Essence Magazine: "They thought [the problems] were my fault. "
Betty moved to New York out of the narrow-minded view of the white South, studying nursing to the State Hospital in Brooklyn. One night, her friends took her to hear Malcolm X's Nation of Islam in an Islamic temple in Harlem. Essence Magazine, a magazine specifically for African-American women, said in 1992 that Betty's friend offered to introduce her to Malcolm X, after he finished speaking.
Betty reaction to what was "Big deal!" But she went to the floor. Later, she continued in this interview: "But then I looked and saw this man on the extreme right aisle sort of galloping to the podium. He was tall, he was thin, and the way it gallops, it seemed he was going somewhere much more important than the podium … Well, he took the podium, and I'm sitting well right. "
Betty was very impressed by the speeches of Malcolm X. Then she took backstage, and they spoke of racism in Alabama. She began attending all of his speeches and lectures, and by the time she graduated nursing school, she was a member of the Nation of Islam.

Men and women go out in groups. "Once she had completed her nursing studies in 1958, Malcolm X proposed marriage, and by the time Betty was 23 X and Malcolm X was 32, they were legally married in the church Muslim.
As her husband, Betty walked the pilgrimage to Mecca, became a Sunni Muslim, and has maintained his faith in the Nation of Islam role in the assassination of Malcolm X until 1995. She then had a public reconciliation with Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam.
Betty X further stated in Essence Magazine interview: "I really do not know where I would be today if I had not gone to Mecca for pilgrimage shortly after Malcolm was assassinated. And that helped put me back on track. I remembered one of the things Malcolm always said to me is: "Do not to be bitter. Remember Lot's wife when they kill me, and they certainly will. You must use your energy to do what you have to do. "
After the murder, Betty X had at least six girls to raise as a single mother. His six daughters were: Attalla, Qubilah, Ilyasah, Gamilah and the twins Malikah and Malaak. She was determined to raise her daughters in the Islamic faith, and one of them, Ilyasah Shabazz wrote a famous autobiography, "Growing Up X."

Malcolm X – X Betty's Husband
Malcolm is a great part in truth and justice – but not the American Way. He felt "patriotism" was a crutch some people used to get its own species, as not letting their full civil and human rights. However, powerful patriotic forces, be they black nationalist, this is what inevitably killed. He rose to the leadership of the Nation of Islam, perhaps above all as a game of power politics, and it had cost him. But he grew in his appreciation of desegregation and human rights of all peoples, and in her acceptance of faith Islamic.
Many people talk to him about his strange life. They asked him where he would become a College Bound student in law and enter reality. Circumstances I feel like it was entered from the moment he was born that precluded such a thing, not because he was unable to study law, but because of the extreme oppression against him. Mainly, he had to deal with this by becoming an activist, fighting against the United States, and any Anti white society represented, including to some extent the law.
But Malcolm X was not able to become a sort of amateur lawyer. He has kept some black men go to jail, aligning them up, well dressed, outside a courtroom in a famous incident and television. They all seemed to expect leadership from him. He kept trying to relate and lead to what happened, but as he knew, his life was predestined to be short.
Robin DG Kelley, a famous black historian, wrote:
"Malcolm X was called many things: Pan, the father of Black Power, religious fanatic, firm conservative, incipient socialist, and a threat to society. The meaning his public life, his politics and ideology, is contested in part because all of his work consists of a few dozen speeches and a collaborative autobiography whose veracity is challenged … Malcolm became a sort of tabula rasa, or blank slate on which people of different Positions write their own interpretation of its policies and legacy.
"Chuck D of rap group Public Enemy and Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas can both declare Malcolm X their hero.
I'm sure X Sister Betty Shabazz, Brother Malcolm X Shabazz was his greatest hero, and he was also a hero to their six (or eight) children as well, not to mention most American blacks during the 1950s and 1960s.
In his book on Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X "in the final scenes about his murder, Alex Haley wrote:" It is Sister Betty any right of the people, herself a nurse, and those who recognize its reverse. She fell to her knees, looking at his bare chest riddled ball, sobbing: "They killed him!"
At least two of them, Brother Malcolm X Shabazz and Sister Betty X Shabazz, met and love, even briefly. They became a couple famous and beloved, about whom a story says they met when recording a Nation of Islam radio show, and another story says they met after a speech by Malcolm X. In any case, they being with another. This is an event that many people born on this earth have no chance to benefit as part of their lives.
