Because Malcolm X is more controversial and less general.

Oh wait, you do. But less people care about it.

Wasn't malcolm x a violent extremist? Without really researching him that's what I understood of him, and while that may be wrong maybe others share that ignorance

He was a more typical protester i.e. a bit OTT about the cause. I wouldn't go as far as to call him an extremist.
