Malcolm X
7.7
“Scholar, convict, leader, disciple, hipster, father, hustler, minister, black man, every man.”
A tribute to the controversial black activist and leader of the struggle for black liberation. He hit bottom during his imprisonment in the '50s, he became a Black Muslim and then a leader in the Nation of Islam. His assassination in 1965 left a legacy of self-determination and racial pride.
