Malcolm X Still Matters

You are so right. Malcolm X Still Matters, perhaps more today than ever.
Below are some quotes I thought you might appreciate:
“I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.”
“If you’re not willing to die for it, put the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.”
“Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward all research.”
And my personal, all-time, favorite.
“I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressors and those who do the the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice, and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but I don't believe it will be based on the color of the skin...”

I like that last quote too.
A good friend of mine told me that I should read his book, years ago. Sorry to say I haven't. I will try to make an effort to study up on him in the future.
