Malcolm X 1925-1965

"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it." Malcolm X

Reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X opened my eyes to a deeper political reality. I always wonder what influence he could/would have had on the larger fabric of our society, had he survived the assassin's bullet.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X meant a lot to me as a young person. The quote you posted is very timely considering the "discussion" around torture these days.

Where did you get those great pictures of him and the Stock Market?

Thank you! I got the photos from the web. I usually just search images on keywords. It was just accidental that these two were so similar in style. I'm not sure who the artist is for the Malcolm X one. I'll try to find out.
