{{Quote|Michael X was quite simply a hustler, who was hustling off of Malcolm’s name. He was a crook! He didn’t set up anything you could commit to – he didn’t organise anything political.|Darcus Howe, a black power activist who met Michael X in 1970.}}
'''Michael de Freitas''', better known as '''Michael X''' and sometimes also called '''Abdul''' '''Malik''' (August 17, 1933 - May 16, 1975),  was a Trinidadian civil rights activist and self-styled black revolutionary. While he spent most of his time in London, England, he eventually fled back to Trinidad and Tobago after jumping bail on an extortion charge. While there Michael was convicted of the [[murder]] of a follower of his named Joseph Skerritt and executed. His involvement in a second murder, that of Gale Benson, has been disputed.
