X Is Known
Malcolm X is revered as one of the most influental people and greatest minds of the 20th century along with the likes of Che Guervara, MLK, Huey Newton, and so many others. One thing all of the people I named shared a central belief/goal; they all fought for equality of their people and people in general. We need more men like that in the world now, ecspecially with the turmoil we see aroound us; the political oppression and uprising in Libyia, massive economic problems, exploitation in so called "3rd world countries." There will always be problems but to me it shows how vital Malcolm X and these men were, and it's intresting that the government was somehow involved in all of their deaths. (They all were spied on by the US government and many believe the government had a hand in all of their deaths: CIA helped capture and kill Che and FBI created lies to turn black leaders against eachother in the case of Huey Newton) It just seems that there is not many great leaders left in our world than eras past, and I wonder how drastically diffrent our world would be today if all of these great inspirational men were alive today. I sometimes think one conversation with any of them I would learn more than all of my years of school. RIP to these leaders
