Malcom X

Upon reading the bio/headnote of Malcolm X I was immediately captured and curious about the date he had died and the year civil rights had become law in America for all black people. It to me showed resemblance to a similar moment in history when Abraham Lincoln had won the civil war, and in consequence helped liberate slaves across the southwest. A year after south conceded President Lincoln was assassinated much like the murder of Malcolm X. The connections to me are worth noting on account that these two men were self-educated, reared in poor families, and were among the greatest speakers of their time. It is indicative to view the story of Malcolm X as a proliferation of individualism in black communities or poor families and the like. He describes the life he was taught growing up before entering jail then entails a memoire which he journeys through the power self-reflection, self-endowment, and self-education.
