X Marks The Spot

Malcolm X died exactly 45 years ago the day I'm writing this. He died February 21st, 1965 by the hands of his own people, the people he fought and would ultimately die for. He represents perserverance, personal salvation, and enlightenment to the fullest. He was honest and geniune to the utmost in his teachings and to himself. He didn't stand for injusticies, instead he tried to empower and enlighten Blacks in America. He never minced words, and was no one's puppet. He was a man who stood against injustice and preached this for the betterment of people in the struggle. He is an international icon, and he definitely deserves more recognition today. He fought for what he believed and he valiantly seeked knowledge, wisdom, and truths and we need more people/leaders like that today. The story and life of Malcolm X is relatable to everybody regardless of race or gender, and everybody should be aware of him and learn from him. RIP
