			Malcolm spent his adolescence living in a series of [[foster home]]s or with relatives after his father's death and his mother's hospitalization. He committed various crimes, being sentenced to 8 to 10 years in prison in 1946 for [[larceny]] and burglary. In prison, he joined the Nation of Islam, adopting the name Malcolm{{nbsp}}X to symbolize his unknown African ancestral surname while discarding "the white [[Slave name\|slavemaster name]] of 'Little'", and after his parole in 1952, he quickly became one of the organization's most influential leaders.
