5/19 Happy Birthday Malcolm Little (Malcolm X) (87) born in North Omaha ^_^

"A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything"....in honor of the influential leader El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz on his birthday

Last week, I so enjoyed a discussion of Malcolm X's philosophies at the Manning Marable's memorial conference.

Just finished watching this great PBS documentarywww.youtube.com/watch?v=6zvGRmX2gcs&feature=youtube_gdata_pl

Watching a FASCINATING series of archive interviews on BBC4 including Paul McCartney, Kenneth Williams, Lauren Bacall and, just now, Malcolm X. He really does look like Denzil. Also he has an incredibly nice smile which is disturbingly juxtaposed with his militancy.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Still true today! It's just that we have t.v. & the internet as well.

Mentioned in The Savage City again; "It is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.... It doesn't mean I advocate violence, but at the same time I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don't call it violence when it's self-defense. I call it intelligence."~ Malcolm X, 1965

English mentioned him again in chapter 5 of The Savage City: "Some in the mainstream press interpreted Malcolm's speech as a provocation." No, really??? Cannot imagine why ;)

Denzel didn't just make him look good... this man's story is one of radical change from childhood to adulthood. Enough to go against the grain and show men's fear (of civil truths and equality).

February 21 in 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated at a rally for the Organization of Afro-American Unity.

#blackhistory There is a speech on YouTube of Malcolm X stating who taught you to hate yourself! He talks about how some of us have a disdain for our Afrocentric features and hair. One of the most powerful speeches I have ever heard and will continue to listen too. Love yourself and your history. Research and know our strength even in the times of self doubt. Read his autobiography! One of the best autobiographies I have ever read!

i never knew this about Malcolm X that when he was in prison he taught himself to read and write! I think that is an amazing achievement and will!!!

a very outspoken (and well-spoken) African-American, Malcolm X was a great leader for many reasons------killed by the hand of another black (African-American) man (men), unfortunately he never got to reach his full potential. Another soldier in the war for civil rights------may he always be remembered and respected is my wish.

another movie I haven't sen in years.

Malcome X was such a great man. a man whole understood the full meaning of REVOLUTION!!!!
