"1965- Malcolm X is assassinated"
This fateful day still infuriates me to this day. Malcolm had a brilliant mind, came full circle from "The Chickens have come home to roost" to the Civil Rights Movement needs people of every race, gender, & creed to promote lasting change for the better.
I hold Malcolm in higher esteem than I do Martin Luther King Jr. today actually.
