My father in Cairo weeks before he’d be assassinated at age 39. Despite following his every move an FBI informant called him, “a man of high moral character who neither smokes nor drinks.” He spoke truth to power, and we know that truth is timeless. Rest In Peace, Dad 2/21/1965🌟

My father in Cairo, 1964. Interestingly despite following his every move, in 1958 an FBI informant called him, “a man of high moral character who neither smokes nor drinks.” Apparently, he was seldom late for an appointment. Malcolm X, to this day, remains an enigma.

and not always as el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz.
On his 95th birthday, let’s hear the answer directly from him.

Did you know? While he was in prison, my father was a star contender on the debate team. To prepare, he studied the dictionary so that he could understand the etymology of words. And so he could be, do and give his best.

55 years ago, Malcolm X was assassinated. Serious questions linger. Why was there minimal police presence? Why were 2 of 3 killers convicted with no physical evidence? A 6-part doc series WHO KILLED MALCOLM X? investigates, coming to Netflix Friday 2/7.

Malcolm demands everything that Black people deserve, by any means necessary. He does not advocate violence, but will not abide the sick moral logic that condemns destruction of property as “too extreme” a response to the police shooting us in the back.

Despite his home firebombed on 2/14/1965 where his pregnant wife and babies slept, this young 39 year old Man still kept his commitments and was ultimately assassinated 1 week later, on Sunday, 2/21/1965, at approx 3PM. May God reward him for his selfless deeds. ✨
An eyewitness recalls 'When we saw Malcolm departing on the midnight train to London, we realised he had not slept for at least two days. He hardly had a moment to prepare for any of the speeches he delivered nor for the press and TV interviews.'
