“I feel like a man who has bee asleep somewhat and under someone else’s control. I feel that what I’m thinking and saying is now for myself. Before it was for and by the guidance of Elijah Muhammad. Now I think with my own mind, sir!”
-Malcolm X, New York Times, Feb. 22, 1965
“Look at yourselves, some of you teenagers, students.

What did we do, who preceded you? I’ll tell you what we did, Nothing. And don’t you make the same mistake we made….
-MalcolmX, Dec. 31,
1964 (taken from the essay “Malcolm X,
Our
revolutionary son and brother. By
Patricia Robinson
