A mural in Ardoyne, Belfast, Northern Ireland featuring Malcolm X. The mural was destroyed soon after painting and no longer exists. It was painted by American artist Mike Alewitz in 2002. Alewitz chose Malcolm X for the mural as there had been tensions in Ardoyne about catholic children attending a protestant school, recollecting the struggle to racially integrate schools in the Civil Rights era in the United States. The mural was destroyed by Sinn Fein during a period of negotiation with Loyalists in Northern Ireland in an attempt to reduce sources of tension between the two groups.
