Africans, and especially Ethiopians, need a Malcolm. Black folk in America, as much as they revere him, don’t realize just what level of genius he had. Still so many Black people here and throughout the world lost to the knowledge of themselves.

Like this scene. My favorite is when he walks out of the hospital, puts his hand up, and slowly points. Very powerful!

I never watched the movie. But, this is a powerful scene.
In my defense, I get upset (54 y.o. Black here). We know the history. It doesn't end happily. But thank you for sharing this scene!!

What are we Black people seeking in the year 2025 and beyond? Equality for everyone, or just a few that are willing to look their Brothers & Sisters in the eye and say, "I got mine."

Description
"You may be shocked by these words coming from me,But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. ... Each hour here in the Holy Land enables me to have greater spiritual insights into what is happening in America between black and white. The American Negro never can be blamed for his racial animosities -- he is only reacting to four hundred years of the conscious racism of the American whites. But as racism leads America up the suicide path, I do believe, from the experiences that I have had with them, that the whites of the younger generation, in the colleges and universities, will see the handwriting on the walls and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth -- the only way left to America to ward off the disaster that racism inevitably must lead to."
Malcolm X
He never stopped wanting to learn. Just before his death in 1965, he maintained that one of the things he most regretted in his life was his lack of an academic education. He stated that he would be quite willing to go back to school and continue where he had left off and go on to take a degree. "I would just like to study. I mean ranging study, because I have a wide-open mind. I'm interested in almost any subject you can mention".
When he left the Black Muslims and formed his own organization, one of the roles he performed was that of a teacher. He ran a regular class for young people where he told them "We have got to get over the brainwashing we had ... get out of your mind what the man put in it ... Read everything. You never know where you're going to get an idea. We have to learn how to think ..."

"Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today."
