Where were Malcolm X's parents from ?

On May 29, 1925, the civil rights activist Malcolm X was born in Omaha Nebraska. His birth name was Malcolm Little.  His father, Earl Little, who was a disciple of Marcus Garvey, was born in Reynolds, Georgia, United States. Earl was an outspoken Baptist minister who was heavily involved in black nationalist causes.  His mother, Louise Helen Little, was born in Grenada La Digue, St. Andrew, Grenada.

Malcolm lost his father at age 6 to mysterious circumstances. His mother was committed to a mental home at when Malcolm was 13. From that point, Malcolm grew up in a number of foster homes and was basically an orphan. Earl's untimely death had a profound effect on Malcolm Little.  It can be considered as a motive for his black nationalist position as a civil rights leader.
