  • Preston Wilcox was one of the most mentally freest Black men you could ever meet, he did not suffer from an inferiority complex like many Black folks do. You had to be around him to witness it. I was fortunate to see him in action. Preston wanted to get out of this hell hole we have been thrown into. Preston was a good friend, he didn't jive around about nothing, he was one badd brother and he was crazy about Malcolm X.

      Nique, I wrote you back a much more detailed reply but for some reason whenever I do that they never go through.
      Yep, his office was a few doors down from The Apollo Theater.

    Preston didn't just have a supreme knowledge "on" Malcolm, he knew about the mentality of
    a Malcolm, Preston was unmatched in describing the damage whites have placed on our
    collective psyche .Preston was a giant, I'm glad we 'literally' crossed paths. I stopped him in
    the street one day and introduced myself to him after his name kept popping up in various
    things I read, a tight bond was quickly formed that lasted for decades.
    While others talk about Malcolm on the surface, Preston went into the mind of Malcolm and
    could describe the mechanics of Malcolms complexity using everyday English, Preston never
    tried to blind you with science and bullshit. This was one badd brother.

    A jewel of a man. I was in Harlem 2019. I went straight to 125. I seen appolo and all the venders. I remember a black lady in a food truck was telling us a story about how a young white girl was trying to explain to her, how to use the elevator in her building where she have lived for 40 years. She was mad and offended because of the influx of whites she was funny but she was serious. This man for warned. I went to the Malcolm and Betty center. And I was happy but I was disappointed. I was looking for a historical museum. All and all I can see why he love Harlem. I enjoyed myself

      Brother TimrodTV are you here in New York? Preston was a true brother, he is truly missed!
      The brothers back went bad and his hearing worsened to the point wear he could hear you
      and then he died peacefully in his sleep. A genuine soul brother to the max, never will be
      forgotten. In the above clip you can see the camera shy me speaking with the our brother.

      @@TheShabazzProduction thanx for the reply. I love your work and dedication. I'm not in New York. I'm in Cali. I was there visiting a cousin. I connected what he said with what the lady in Harlem was talking about with the outside interests coming in and playing their control. I loved the street venders the food the restaurants. The history. I went into a restaurant and they had vegi set up soul food set up and Caribbean food. But what sticks with me is they had pic of Malcolm Martin and I think Percy Sutton Jessie Jackson. Just black figures.

      That's you at the 2:25 mark. Bro Preston gave you a props for remembered and rocking for Malcolm. What an honor! I thank God for you and you are right that we are more lost than ever now. Bro Preston was a good reporter. You have Monumental material

    It's time for television shows on Black channels like BET with shows like UNSUNG to show us not only Rap Artist, Actors, Musicians and Sports Figures as the best in the Black community what about badd ass brothers like Preston Wilcox, Brother Al Sharpton, Charles Barron and others who stood and stand up for our people? These brothers are just as badd has anyone who can blow a horn or throw a ball in the air. I think the industrial media complex is intentionally fucking with our heads to convince us the only notable people are entertainers.
