The Tens: 10 Great Malcolm X Quotes & How They Apply To Society In 2011
Malcolm X would have been 86-years-old on May 19th had he not been assassinated on February 21, 1965 in Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom. Despite his passing, the legacy of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz lives on – even though he is not as nationally recognized as he should be. His detractors tried to demolish his image and disintegrate his significance on race relations in this country by trying to brand him as a racist, violent figure who lived his entire life despising white people. But those who have read literature, watched and heard the speeches or have been around people who grew up around Malcolm X will tell you that the minister, human rights activist and dynamic public speaker was far from what naysayers paint his image to be. On Malcolm’s birthday, we at TheWellVersed will not let his legacy be forgotten. Regardless of how many people trumpet the passing of rappers but forget about the man who paved the way for them to even kick the rhymes they uttered, it is important to keep Malcolm X’s memory alive and remind people who one of the most influential individuals in American history was, is and always will be.
