Happy Birthday Malcolm!

Today in 1925, African-American civil rights activist leader, Malcolm X was born.  He would be 86 years old.  May God bless his family.

Malcolm was a life learner that expanded his knowledge base whenever possible.  His mind was forever changing.  Many people have had varied and excitable opinions when it came to him, but his willingness to continue learning, by any means necessary (as Malcolm was known for saying) made him unique.

Malcolm widened his perception of the world and mankind. According to a PDF entitled, Malcolm X: Life and Death 1925-1965, found on www.wesleyan.edu, after Malcolm's pilgrimage to Mecca he directed his work toward all races and ethnicities.  He preached to them about human rights, freedom, etc...

May we all continue to cherish the rights of all humans and the beauty of freedom.  Blessings always...
