All About Malcolm X Bobblehead Dolls

Malcolm X was born a few months after MLK came to the US and in turn influenced the African-American civil rights movement. He is one of the most important leaders of all time in Black American history. Much has been written about his life and his legacy and I believe many people do not fully understand him and what he stood for. This is why so many have purchased X bobblehead dolls in honor of this great man and scholar.

The Black Americans that had taken up arms during the age of MLK had come under fire from the white power structure. Many had been beaten, had their homes burned down and many killed. Many of them had received death threats and were living in constant fear. That is why this little figurine is very meaningful to them.

We are all taught at a very young age that the “white man’s burden should always be lifted”. But is this true with all men? Absolutely not. Not in this case. Especially in the war-time period, it is clear to see that there were many women that had suffered more at the hands of the male population and these are the women who by now have gained strength and independence and hence we should honour them for that.

There are so many countries in the world that celebrate bobblehead dolls in honour of this great man. These dolls are normally plastic or porcelain and depict one of many different images. You can get pictures of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Betty Jo Crisler and more. One of the most popular versions is of Malcolm X with a prison suit.

Another reason for the popularity of these bobblehead dolls is because they are so durable and are made to last for a long time. They do not break easily and you can even throw them around without any worry. They are not flimsy pieces of porcelain or plastic that can be damaged easily and hence a large number of parents are buying them for their kids to give them a little comfort when they feel down.

There are many stores that deal in them and you can find them online too. It is definitely worth looking into them and finding out how much they cost before you go ahead and order one for yourself. After all, you do have to be careful when choosing one.
