REMEMBERING MALCOLM X, OUR BROTHER AND TEACHER

February 23, 2015
If you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. Remembered by Carlos Latuff

Remembered by Carlos Latuff
Malcolm X was assassinated 50 years ago this month (February 21st 1965). He would have been almost 90 years old. But he left us when his time was due. A fearless, courageous and sincere man who will never be forgotten by those who stand with the oppressed.
We will remember him today as we did yesterday as our beloved brother.
We remember him and appreciate the sacrifices he made not only for the African Americans but all people across the world. May God grant him mercy and the highest station in paradise. Amen.
Eulogized by Ossie Davis
Remembered by his friends and comrades…

    Nice memorial ... however, Malcolm X was not an anti-National Socialist. When given the chance to join the army in the 'struggle against the axis' he expressed his desire to instead organize other blacks to kill white American officers. This is to his credit, in my opinion.

    Look up his writings which were published in Egypt concerning the subject of Israel and Zionism. After reading it, one will attain clarity as to why the American establishment refrains from the hagiographic treatment reserved for other Black American leaders whose sacrifices, stature and excellence stand pitifully when viewed against Malcolm X Shabazz's towering achievements.
