February 21, 1965), also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz,[1] was an American Black Muslim minister and a spokesman for the Nation of Islam.After leaving the Nation of Islam in 1964, he made the pilgrimage, the Hajj, to Mecca and became a Sunni Muslim.

The meaning of his public life ? his politics and ideology ? is contested in part because his entire body of work con...

I Met Dr. King and Malcolm X at the Seattle World’s Fair
2007-11-20 23:52:00 I Met the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Brother Malcolm X Shabazz at the Seattle Center During the World's Fair in 1961By Karen Cole PeraltaWord Count: 1,600The following events seem dreamlike to me, but I remember them all quite well, as young as I was at the time. I’m now 47 years old, and was a little over one year of age when my Mom told me that the famous Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X were going to be at the Seattle Center during the beginning of the World’s Fair in 1961.As a one year old child, I was an avid television watcher. I had picked up a little about the civil rights war and how ugly racism could be. I knew two different kinds of people were involved, and roughly what they looked like, but as to the rest, I didn’t like it. It scared me, and it seemed like people were attacking each other for no good reason. I kind of “lied” to myself, thinking it was all something unimportant.I remember seeing a story about two famous guest speakers at the...

Malcolm X/Cole Porter
2007-10-24 16:56:00 I was listening a few days ago to Cole Porter’s Anything Goes. Here are the first few lines from that famous song written in 1934— Times have changed, And we’ve often rewound the clock, Since the Puritans got a shock, When they landed on Plymouth Rock. If today, Any shock they should try to stem, ‘Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock would land on them. Now here is Malcolm’s famous line about Plymouth Rock– “We’re not Americans, we’re Africans who happen to be in America. We were kidnapped and brought here against our will from Africa. We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock–that rock landed on us” Hmmmm. Do you think Malcolm sat around listening to Cole Porter? You never know. I’ve seen Plymouth Rock a few times. Though if you’ve seen it once, you’ve covered it for a lifetime. You’re seeing it in the photo above. Here is a link to a Malcolm X reading list. Here is a link...

Rag Doll Man: Fanfiction about Malcolm X
2007-09-17 22:52:00 Rag Doll ManA Novelette - One Fourth of a BookBy Karen Cole PeraltaWord Count: 14,000Did you know that in the sixties, the men of X were Malcolm X’s, trying to improve the world for Black America? And also, the X-Men from Marvel Comics, of which you may have heard, are “white” derivative life forms. These comic book characters have been quite popular for the past several decades, and nowadays “hit” movies are being made about them. In the comic books, they claim to be genetic “mutants” who are persecuted by normal people.Some think such a derivative evolution is simply a Darwinian “sport,” which can go off in any direction it pleases, finding new natural zones in which to perform its adaptations. And some other beings say that man always has an eternal soul, meant to go new places and become new people. Lastly, some people say that if you are alone, heroic and isolated, you are Satanic - and simply meant to die.In a time of missed opportunities without happiness or...
MALCOLM X IN STORIES
2007-09-08 09:20:00 Malcolm X (19 Mei 1925?21 Februari 1965) adalah tokoh Muslim dari kaum Afrika-Amerika yang ketokohannya dapat disandingkan dengan Dr. Martin Luther King yang berjuang menghapus segala macam diskriminasi lebih-lebih yang menimpa kaum Afrika-Amerika yang sering dikonotasikan dengan kaum negro yang terdiskriminasikan."Saya tahu masyarakat seringkali membunuh orang-orang yang berusaha mengubah mereka menjadi lebih baik. Jika saya mati dengan membawa cahaya bagi mereka dengan membawa kebenaran hakiki yang akan menghancurkan kanker rasisme yang menggerogoti tubuh Amerika Serikat (AS) semua itu terserah kepada Allah SWT. Sementara itu kesalahan atau kekhilafan dalam upaya saya itu semata-mata adalah dari saya sendiri". Demikianlah pesan terakhirnya dalam buku "Malcolm X", Sebuah Otobiografi yang ditulis oleh Alex Harley.Malcolm X lahir pada tanggal 19 Mei 1925 di Omaha, Nebraska dengan nama asli Malcolm Little. ibunya bernama Louise Little dan ayahnya bernama Pendeta Earl, seorang pendeta ... |
