"And if I can die having brought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help to destroy the racist cancer that is malignant in the body of America—then, all of the credit is due to Allah. Only the mistakes have been mine."

I recently saw some clips of the movie Malcolm X 1992 and decided it was time to pickup the book and read it. Before I wrote this review, I listened to his famous speech The Ballot or the Bullet, and I am psyched to write some words here.

Malcolm X said that his whole life had been a chronology of -changes, and that he has known unexpected drastic changes. The man wasn't afraid of falling, or tired of getting up and trying again. He was a shining Prince.

Quotes Abdallah Liked

Malcolm X
“The ability to read awoke inside of me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Malcolm X
“Why am I as I am? To understand that of any person, his whole life, from
Birth must be reviewed. All of our experiences fuse into our personality. Everything that ever happened to us is an ingredient.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Malcolm X
“Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so 'safe,' and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X
