Today marks what would have been the 83rd birthday of Malcolm X, who died in 1965. Hear an excerpt of his 1964 speech "The Ballot or the Bullet."

He fought back with the rhetoric and the bullet and took a bullet...
...so that we (my generation) could fight back at the ballot.
That's why I show my patriotism by god Blessing Malcolm X. Happy Birthday, Malcolm. God Bless you and Black America.
He preached fire w/fire, matched rhetoric w/rhetoric and was prepared to return a bullet w/a bullet...
...so what. |

I wonder if Obama is tied up with him?
Hmmm! Call Bill O'Rielly! |

Side note: Have you all seen the Ebony line of greeting cards? They feature classic Ebony covers, with a message inside. I bought up a bunch of them the other day, including one with a cover of Betty Shabazz standing in front of a portrait of her late husband. |

BTW, great photo choice, Ntfs. I am thinking of bringing those glasses frames back. Think I could pull it off? |

I love 'em!!! I bought all of them also. I love those historical covers. I'm hoping they do the old black and white Jet magazines. I have a collection of the vintage Jets from the 50's and 60's. You can get them from EBay. I document them for historical purposes. In fact, I found a few my mom had saved. Most are in mint condition.

Of course! I have a collection of Malcolm photographs (and audio speeches). I love the one of him and a very young Ali. And yes, those glasses are a classic!! I also have wanted a pair. Thanks for bringing it up. Now I'm motivated again to do so.
