History Shows UsHappy Birthday, Malcolm X!"The progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven’t even begun to pull the knife out, much less heal the wound. They won’t even admit the knife is there." - Malcolm X

In this episode Lettie shares a few facts about him, she talks about a newspaper he started in 1960, and Lettie reads a few quotes you need to hear and remember because they are still just as applicable in 2023. Happy birthday to one of the most brilliant and influential revolutionary leaders in history!

This holiday is coming at a time when people are arguing against Critical Race Theory, there is more legislation that needs to be passed for Black lives (like the anti-lynching bill, legislation that would protect Black voters, etc.), reparations are still being argued against, and more.
