MALCOLM X May 19 1925 - February 21 1965 Malcolm X, a crapper has been said about the man as witnessed by the many books written. All of the books, with the exception of one, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, penned by Alex Haley, is based on hearsay, conjecture and opinions. There are too, a lot of internet sites devoted to Malcolm. Most of them are of the historical nature, while virtually of them were inspired by the love for him. I fall into the last mentioned category.
For me, my first introduction of Malcolm came when I was 7 social classs of age. It was 1963, the year that John Kennedy was assassinated. My uncle (who was more like a father to me) had interpreted me, as we often did, to this dining hall by the pay heed of Father Divines. I recall being sadden by the death of Kennedy and had been crying throughout that day. When we arrived at the hall, one of the elderberry bushs came up to me and said that he had heard from my uncle that I had been crying over the death of the president and he asked me why? I do not recall my exact words tho I know that they werent many, because I really didnt know why? perhaps because the whole world was crying? Whatever my answer was, it prompted the elder to take me into a room to listen to a dour man he said, that he knows will change my livelihood forever. That man was Malcolm X! And as prophetic as it might appear, the elder was right.
From that point on, I could not uprise going enough of him. And as I grew older, I looked to him for strength, guidance, wisdom and understanding.
all(prenominal) word he said, I clung onto like a immature to its mother. His footsteps are those that I follow. His heartbeat is that which I hear. For like the near Elijah Muhammad, and before him, Master Fard, he was chosen to raise my people from the depths by which we were plunged. He was chosen to go after the modern people. And that he did. He found me. A olive-sized seven year old who had a lot of questions but was getting no answers. Three decades has passed since his murder, and the answers are ringing louder in my ears. each one MUST reach one! Each one MUST teach one!
