Malcolm X

Malcolm X, former leader of the National of Islam. My youngest daughter was in the fourth grade and brought home a book about Malcolm X and wanted to know more about him. Learning about Malcolm X started me on a journey about learning about African-American history. Not only African-American history but other history that was not written in school books.

Malcolm traveled to Mecca and found our their were people who did not look like him but shared his religious belief. This knowledge had a profound impact on way of thinking and transformed his life path. Malcolm taught empowerment and self-educating. Happy Valentine's Day.
