  • Malcolm X was born 98 years ago today, on May 19, 1925, and assassinated at age 39 on February 21, 1965, as he spoke before a packed audience in the Audubon Ballroom in New York City. We end today’s show remembering his life and legacy with an excerpt of a speech Malcolm X gave at the Audubon Ballroom about half a year earlier called “By Any Means Necessary.”

      ​@@markcross3492 Well, its hard not to share that perspective. Doom sure dominates headlines with millions of impressions a second. Given population growth, I sometimes wonder if there is more horror now than all the massacres of the last Epoch? Or even the 60's? What would Malcolm say if he were here today? Is it a full defeat, or some light streaming through the cracks? "by any means possible". Maybe possibilities to change our 'cultural story' will come through consciousness (common unifying state) vs morality (tribalism/nationalism/religion).

      Yeap Malcolm X was a great man did NOT really agree with him on Islam exactly but he made some powerful speeches and l guess black people had to learn what where their roots and belief systems when they where taken from Africa itself has slaves in order to heal and learn about their ancestors just like any nation or country around the world 🌍.
      Black people have a right to learn their own history and where their ancestors came from.
