Happy Birthday, Malcolm X

[source]

Today is Malcolm X's birthday. I know I sound extremely revolutionary but I wanted to get a little more insight of who he was from revolutionaries at my job. They are both friends of mine and I wanted them to make their blog debut.

She is advocates for the masses, believes strongly in creating opportunity for all people and working for the oppressed people of the global world. As member of TransAfrica, I felt she would be a perfect candidate to give me some facts.

" He mold me to be the woman that I am today. He taught me even though I am living in the Americas, my roots are based in Africa. As a black woman he made me to never forget where I came from and where I am going. Long live the memory of Malcolm X"

Next, I got her brother in the revolution. He sees himself as a humble servant. His take on Malcolm: "Malcolm taught the best about ourselves. He taught us how to think, see for ourselves, and how to take a position for ourselves. He's our shining prince. If he is our shining prince, Betty is our shining princess."

To be honest, there isn't much I know about Malcolm X (insert sighs). I have yet to finish his autobiography. I think I will try to finish his book and learn as much as I can to understand the revolutionaries' views of Malcolm "by any means necessary".
