HAPPY MALCOLM X DAY.


Happy Malcolm X Day, everyone.... Reflect, respect, & revisit the life of a man whose words remain universally applicable.

“If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.” 

“If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.”

“We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.”

“If you have no critics you'll likely have no success. ”

“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”

“You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”

“Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.”

“We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.”

“To have once been a criminal is no disgrace. To remain a criminal is the disgrace”

“We declare our right on this earth...to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.”
