Milestone: Malcolm X, May 19, 1925 - Feb, 21, 1965

Had he lived, today would have been Malcolm X's 87th birthday.

To say Malcolm X was a polarizing figure in American history is a massive understatement. Its unfortunate that when he is remembered that it is mainly for his stances when he was aligned with the Nation Of Islam and less for the humanistic views he adopted towards the end of his life. I believe firmly had he been allowed to live and continue his chosen path that his veneration would be equal to Dr. King.

It is in this spirit, that I salute El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz aka. Malcolm X.

Thank you sir for your vision and courage of conviction.
