Malcolm X was a much better black rights activist,

Absolutely. Had some very harsh words for Jews and White liberals as well.

A bit like Marcus Garvey and W.E. DuBois though the system has done its best to shine the light on the worst of the Black advocates. Malcolm X and Garvey were for Black independence and self-reliance not sitting there screaming for decades at Whitey for a handout.

Agreed, especially about Garvey. It's a shame nothing more could have happened with Pan-Africanism, the world might unironically be better.
