Very few people come along speaking truth so profound it's obvious. Too revolutionary for the textbooks but just what is needed right now. I didn't learn about this brother until I was an adult. That will not be the case for my children. His autobiography changed my entire life and he remains an inspiration and motivation to me.
Happy Birthday El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz!

Isn't it a shame that many of us only found out about Malcolm went the movie X came out??? Thanx to Spike for sparking people's curiosities!
yeah, I think the movie is what did it for me as well...didn't read the book until age 18...and still didn't really begin understanding who he really was until I did more research of my own...
