Malcolm X-Prophet
Malcolm was so far ahead of his time he makes the rest of us look like cavemen. It's inspiring to look back and hear first hand the thoughts of a real revolutionary, visionary, and prophet.
As a kid growing up in Alabama, Malcolm did'nt get much TV or radio time. No speeches or appearances were televised. No reports in the local paper. Just a small two inch column in the paper when he died.
No statues or monuments exist for the greatest of all Black leaders. No holidays, parades, commemorations, nothing. His family did'nt capitalize on his image, writings, or tapes. Betty Shabazz died virtually penniless.
Thanks Brother Malcolm for reminding us of our true selves.
