fWotD Episode 2936: Malcolm X Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 19 May 2025, is Malcolm X.Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little, later el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz; May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965) was an African American revolutionary, Muslim minister and human rights activist who was a prominent figure during the civil rights movement until his assassination in 1965. A spokesman for the Nation of Islam (NOI) until 1964 after which he left the movement, he was a vocal advocate for Black empowerment and the promotion of Islam within the African American community. A controversial figure accused of preaching violence, Malcolm X is also a widely celebrated figure within African American and Muslim communities for his pursuit of racial justice.Malcolm spent his adolescence living in a series of foster homes or with relatives after his father's death and his mother's hospitalization. He committed various crimes, being sentenced to eight to ten years in prison in 1946 for larceny and burglary. In prison, he joined the Nation of Islam, adopting the name Malcolm X to symbolize his unknown African ancestral surname while discarding "the white slavemaster name of 'Little'", and after his parole in 1952, he quickly became one of the organization's most influential leaders. He was the public face of the organization for 12 years, advocating Black empowerment and separation of Black and White Americans, and criticizing Martin Luther King Jr. and the mainstream civil rights movement for its emphasis on non-violence and racial integration. Malcolm X also expressed pride in some of the Nation's social welfare achievements, such as its free drug rehabilitation program. From the 1950s onward, Malcolm X was subjected to surveillance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).In the 1960s, Malcolm X began to grow disillusioned with the Nation of Islam, as well as with its leader, Elijah Muhammad. He subsequently embraced Sunni Islam and the civil rights movement after completing the Hajj to Mecca and became known as "el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz", which roughly translates to "The Pilgrim Malcolm the Patriarch". After a brief period of travel across Africa, he publicly renounced the Nation of Islam and founded the Islamic Muslim Mosque, Inc. (MMI) and the Pan-African Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU). Throughout 1964, his conflict with the Nation of Islam intensified, and he was repeatedly sent death threats. On February 21, 1965, he was assassinated in New York City. Three Nation members were charged with the murder and given indeterminate life sentences. In 2021, two of the convictions were vacated. Speculation about the assassination and whether it was conceived or aided by leading or additional members of the Nation, or with law enforcement agencies, has persisted for decades.He was posthumously honored with Malcolm X Day, on which he is commemorated in various cities across the United States. Hundreds of streets and schools in the U. S. have been renamed in his honor, while the Audubon Ballroom, the site of his assassination, was partly redeveloped in 2005 to accommodate the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center. A posthumous autobiography, on which he collaborated with Alex Haley, was published in 1965.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Monday, 19 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Malcolm X on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

This podcast episode delves into the profound impact and enduring legacy of Malcolm X, one of the most influential African American leaders of the 20th century. Born Malcolm Little in 1925, his journey from a troubled youth to a prominent human rights advocate is a testament to transformative personal growth amidst adversity. His conversion to Islam and subsequent name change to Malcolm X marked a pivotal shift in his life, aligning him with the Nation of Islam's teachings that championed black superiority and separation from white society. However, his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964 broadened his perspective, fostering a newfound advocacy for racial unity and human rights that transcended the Nation's doctrine. This episode explores his eloquent oratory skills, his advocacy for black empowerment, and his critique of systemic racism in America, which made him a beloved leader as well as a controversial figure. Malcolm X's assassination in 1965 did not silence his voice; it amplified his message, echoing through civil rights movements and influencing generations. Join us as we explore his philosophy, struggles, and the powerful narrative of a man who constantly reinvented himself in the face of extreme adversity.(00:15) In Harlem, New York City, on February 21, 1965, Malcolm X is assassinated during a political meeting, shot 16 times at the age of 39. His death comes after his estrangement from the Nation of Islam.(02:13) Post his pilgrimage to Mecca in May 1964, Malcolm adopts a more inclusive religious stance and plans to spread orthodox Islam across America, questioning the motives behind his targeting by former allies.(03:20) Malcolm critiques racial segregation and discrimination in the U.S., reflecting on his personal family history marred by violence and systemic racism.(11:40) Malcolm's evolving ideology, advocating for racial justice on a global stage, leads to tensions with the Nation of Islam and increased scrutiny from U.S. government agencies.(36:12) On February 21, 1965, moments before his speech at the Audubon Ballroom, Malcolm X is fatally shot. The assassination involves complex interplays of betrayal within the Nation of Islam and possible government complicity.This Podcast  covers detailed events leading to and following Malcolm X's assassination, his ideological evolution, and the socio-political consequences of his activism.

“In Fire Forged” is the fifth anthology in the Honorverse, containing three short stories and another technical writing. We see the return of two favorite co-authors: Jane Lindskold bringing us the short story “Ruthless” and Timothy Zahn who hits us hard with his short story “An Act of War”. David Weber brings us the third short story entitled “Let's Dance”, which is really a novella disguised as a short story. Then he brings us home with the technical essay “An Introduction to Modern Starship Armor Design”, brought to us through the character Hegel DiLutorio, a retired officer in the Royal Manticoran Navy.This 311-page collection was first published by Baen in February 2011.The first story is Ruthless by Jane Lindskold.Jane brings us back to the story of Judith, a Masadan refugee rescued by Michael Winton when he was a midshipman. We promised you'd see more of Judith in the future, and here the promise is delivered. Time has passed, Michael is now a young commissioned officer in the RMN, he and Judith are married and have a young daughter named Ruth. There's a plot afoot by George and Alice Ramsbottom, staunch Manticoran isolationists who object to the alliance Manticore formed with Grayson. In an attempt to disrupt this new alliance, they kidnap Ruth with the intent to return her to her Masadan father. They hope that Grayson will question their decision to enter an alliance with Manticore based on an assumption that if Manticore can't even protect one child, they're not a Star Kingdom worth allying with for broader and more significant defense issues. As a bonus, if Michael will act rashly, this may also embarrass the Star Kingdom's reputation broadly. The events in this story take place in 1889 PD, two to three years after the events captured in Jane Lindskold's short story “Promised Land”.Your hosts all gave this one a “thumbs-up”.Next we discussed Timothy Zahn's short story An Act of War. This story takes place around the time as Honor escapes from Hades (approximately 1914 PD). We saw those events in the novel “Ashes of Victory”. When Honor's escape becomes known, this story gives us a glimpse into an arms dealer named Charles who at the same time was trying to sell cloaking technology to Haven. Events unfold when Oscar St. Just is convinced to install this equipment on a ship and for that ship to be used in an unorthodox manner to hopefully fuel a war between Manticore and the Andermani Empire. This would be a good thing from the Havenite perspective. Risky deeds are attempted and things get pretty tense, pretty fast!This one received three “thumbs-up” from your hosts as well!The third story is Let's Dance, written by David Weber. As mentioned, this is more of a novella than a short story. It takes us back to Commander Honor Harrington's first hyper-capable command as she captains the destroyer HMS Hawking (sometime prior to 1900 PD). We see events related to the Manticoran efforts to normalize relationships with Silesia, which have been somewhat tense. She's conducting anti-piracy operations in Silesian territory, intervenes and captures a vessel conducting piracy and in a good-faith gesture, turns the ship and crew over to the local Silesian system governor. A short time later she learns two unsavory things. First, the ship and crew she handed to the Silesians has mysteriously disappeared. Honor has no doubt they were released rather than prosecuted. Second, she learns about a significant Mesan (Manpower, Inc.) slave-trading station through an interesting and unproven source. That source quickly builds credibility by revealing a knowledge of Honor's Beowulfian family and a shared hatred of the slave trade. He quietly discloses he's also a member of the Audubon Ballroom,

On March 8, 1964, activist Malcolm X announced his separation from the Nation of Islam (NOI), a religious sector advocating for Black self-determination. This decision came after a disagreement with Elijah Muhammad, the leader of NOI. Despite parting ways with the organization, Malcolm X retained his adherence to Islam and went on to establish the Organization of African Unity, embodying a vision of broader inclusivity and unity among African descendants.  However, his journey was tragically cut short on February 21, 1965, when he was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, just as he was about to deliver an address. His untimely death, at the age of 39, marked a profound loss for the civil rights movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated while he was preparing to address a crowd of more than 400 guests for his new group, the Organization of Afro-American Unity, in Harlem, New York, at the Audubon Ballroom. Malcolm X was born as Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska. His early life was marked by profound racial hostility, compelling his family's relocation to Lansing, Michigan, following the brutal murder of his father by white supremacists. Malcolm X later became a prominent figure in the Nation of Islam, advocating for Black empowerment and self-defense against systemic oppression. His pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964 marked a significant turning point in his life, where he experienced a transformative spiritual awakening, leading him to reassess his views on race and advocate for a more inclusive approach to civil rights activism. Malcolm X was assassinated at the age of 39, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On February 21, the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center hosted an event to mark the 58th anniversary of Malcolm X's assassination. Malcolm, who was born on May 19, 1925, was shot dead on February 21, 1965, in the Audubon Ballroom. He was just 39 years old.

In late February of 1965, Malcolm X was murdered at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, New York. In the days after the famous civil rights leader's assassination, three men were arrested and charged with his murder. All three men were later convicted on those charges, despite testimony that two of those men, Muhammad Abdul Aziz and Khalil Islam, were innocent. In the years since, Aziz and Islam steadfastly maintained their innocence, and in 2020, The Innocence Project took up their case. Nearly five decades later, Aziz and Islam were exonerated in November 2021, after The Innocence Project successfully urged Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. to reinvestigate the case.In this episode, In the Public Interest co-host John Walsh invites WilmerHale Partner April Williams to share the story of her involvement in The Innocence Project's efforts to exonerate Aziz and Islam. Williams focuses her practice on complex civil and criminal litigation and maintains an active pro bono practice, including her work with a team of WilmerHale lawyers supporting The Innocence Project on this case. Vanessa Potkin, director of special litigation at The Innocence Project, joins Walsh and Williams for an in-depth discussion of The Innocence Project's work to exonerate the two men. Walsh, Williams and Potkin revisit the political tensions swirling around the time of Malcolm X's murder and the specific events leading up to his assassination on the afternoon of February 21, 1965. They discuss the thorny legal issues involved in seeking to overturn a decades-old conviction and how a newly discovered evidence law in New York formed the legal grounds that ultimately led to Aziz and Islam's official exoneration. The episode wraps up with Potkin sharing how racial disparities in the criminal justice system are also borne out in wrongful convictions, with Black individuals making up nearly half of known exonerations.

Thank you for listening to Will Wright Catholic. This post is public so feel free to share it.IntroductionWith Martin Luther King day approaching, it struck me that a great number of Americans have no idea who Martin Luther King Jr. was or what he did. They are barely familiar with his most famous speech: “I Have a Dream.” And each third Monday of January, most of us take the day off work for the federal holiday, but we do not take time to appreciate the contributions of this great man. So, in a small way, I would like to respond to that vacancy of attention. This short article will look at the life of Dr. King and his role in the Civil Rights Movement. There are many things that I have had to leave out for time's sake. But may this serve as a primer for further study. I believe that we still have more to learn from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.Who was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, GA. He was an American Baptist minister and one of the foremost leaders of the Civil Rights Movement of the late 1950s and the 1960s. As an African American, Dr. King fought for the rights of people of color through nonviolence and civil disobedience. In this regard, he had been inspired both by our Lord Jesus Christ and the example of Mahatma Gandhi. As a Baptist minister, King was steeped in the written word of God. As a young man, he earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1951 from Crozer Theological Seminary in Upland, Pennsylvania. He then went on to pursue doctoral studies in systematic theology at Boston University. He received his Ph.D. degree on June 5, 1955. His dissertation was entitled: A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman. Before completing his studies, he married Coretta Scott on June 18, 1953 and they became the parents of four children. King was made pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama at the age of 25 in 1954. In December 1959, he moved back to his home city of Atlanta and served as co-pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church alongside his father, until his death. Sadly, Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed while staying at a motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. The Civil Rights MovementThe Civil Rights Movement began in large measure with the Supreme Court Case Brown v Board of Education in 1954. This ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This overturned the horrendous Plessy v Ferguson (1896) case which allowed Jim Crow laws that mandated separate public facilities for whites and blacks. Beginning with schools, desegregation quickly spread to other public facilities as well. On December 1, 1955, African American Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a public bus to a white passenger. She was arrested and a sustained bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama began. The protest began on December 5 with the young local preacher, Martin Luther King, Jr. leading - the boycott continued for more than a year. The Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling that segregated seating was unconstitutional.In 1957 the Little Rock Nine attempted to attend the central high school whose population had been entirely white. It took an escort of U.S. soldiers to allow these young men to attend school. The Greensboro Four, in 1960, took part in a sit-in at the all-white lunch counter at a F.W. Woolworth department store. The sit-in grew and replacements were brought in to replace those taken off to jail. On November 14, 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges was escorted to her first day at the previously all-white William Frantz Elementary school in New Orleans by four armed federal marshals. Many parents marched in to remove their children from the school to protest desegregation. She continued going to school, being escorted, and endured threats. Her teacher, Barbara Henry, continued to teach her (alone in the classroom).Beginning on May 4, 1961, a group of seven African American and six whites boarded two buses bound for New Orleans. Along the way, the riders tested the Supreme Court ruling of Boynton v Virginia (1960) which extended an earlier ruling banning segregated interstate bus travel to include bus terminals and restrooms. In South Carolina, the bus had a tire slashed, it was firebombed, and the Freedom Riders were beaten. A second group of 10 replaced them until they were arrested or beaten, then another group would take their place. On May 29, U.S. Attorney general Robert F. Kennedy ordered the Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce bans on segregation more strictly. This took effect in September 1961.The Birmingham DemonstrationsThe Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and Martin Luther King, Jr. launched a campaign in Birmingham, AL to undermine the city's system of racial segregation. The campaign included sit-ins, economic boycotts, mass protests, and marches on City Hall. The demonstrations faced challenges: indifferent African Americans, adversarial white and black leaders, and a hostile commissioner of public safety - Eugene “Bull” Connor. Dr. King was arrested on April 12 for violating an anti-protest injunction and he was placed in solitary confinement. The demonstrations continued for a month, then the Children's Crusade was launched. On May 2, 1963, school-aged volunteers skipped school and began to march - the local jails were quickly filled. Bull Connor ordered the police and fire department to set high-pressure water hoses and attack dogs on the youth.The violent tactics on peaceful demonstrators caused outrage locally and gained national media attention.President John F. Kennedy proposed a civil rights bill on June 11. The Birmingham campaign was eventually negotiated to an agreement locally but tensions were high. A bomb on September 15 at 16th Street Baptist Church killed four African American girls and injured others. The country was in the midst of the war in Vietnam while determining at home what sort of nation we might be.The 1963 March on WashingtonOn August 28, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place to protest civil rights abuses and employment discrimination. A crowd of 250,000 people peacefully gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to listen to speeches, most notably by Martin Luther King, Jr. This is where Dr. King delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech.”The Civil Rights Act of 1964On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law - a stronger version of legislation that President Kennedy proposed before his assassination. The act authorized the federal government to prevent racial discrimination in employment, voting, and the use of public facilities.1965: Assassination of Malcolm XOn February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated while lecturing at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, NY. He was a brilliant speaker and demanded that the civil rights movement move beyond civil rights to human rights. He thought that the solution to racial problems was in orthodox Islam. His ideas contributed to the development of the black nationalist ideology and the Black Power movement. 1965: Selma-Montgomery MarchOn March 7, 1965, Dr. King organized a march from Selma, AL to Montgomery, AL, to call for a federal voting rights law that provided legal support for disenfranchised African Americans in the South. State troopers sent marchers back with violence and tear gas; television cameras recorded the incident. On March 9, King tried again - more than 2,000 marchers encountered a barricade of state troopers at Pettus Bridge. King had his followers kneel in prayer and then they unexpectedly turned back. President Johnson introduced voting rights legislation on March 15, then on March 21, King once again set out from Selma. This time, Alabama National Guardsmen, federal marshals, and FBI agents assisted and King arrived in Montgomery on March 25. The Voting Rights Act was signed into law on August 6. This law suspended literacy tests, provided for federal approval of proposed changes to voting laws or procedures, and directed the attorney general of the U.S. to challenge the use of poll taxes for state and local elections.1965: Watts RiotsSeries of violent confrontations between the city police and residence of Watts and other black neighborhoods in L.A. - beginning on August 11, 1965. A white police officer arrested an African American man, Marquette Frye, on suspicion of driving while intoxicated - he likely resisted arrest and the police possibly used excessive force. Violence, fires, and looting broke out over the next six days. The result was 34 deaths, 1,000 injuries, and $40 million in property damage. The McCone Commission later investigated the cause of the riots and concluded that they were the result of economic challenges including poor housing, schools, and job prospects.1966: Black Panther Party FoundedAfter Malcom X was assassinated, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party in Oakland, CA to protect black neighborhoods from what they saw as police brutality. The group launched community programs providing tuberculosis testing, legal aid, transportation assistance, and free shoes. They believed that civil rights reforms did not do enough. The Black Panther Party was socialist and, therefore, the target of the F.B.I.'s counterintelligence program - they were accused of being a communist organization and an enemy of the U.S. government. In December 1969, police tried to annihilate the group at their Southern California headquarters and in Illinois. The Party's operations continued, less actively, into the 1970s.1967: Loving v VirginiaOn June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Virginia statutes prohibiting interracial marriage unconstitutional. Richard Loving, a white man, and Mildred Jeter, who was mixed black and Native American, left Virginia to be married and then return to the state (this was against the law). Their one year prison sentence was suspended on the condition that they leave Virginia and not return for at least 25 years. They filed their suit in 1963 and it took four years to get to the Supreme Court - their conviction was reversed. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote for a unanimous court that freedom to marry was a basic civil right. This ruling invalidated laws against interracial marriage in Virginia and 15 other states. 1967: Detroit RiotSeries of violent confrontations between African American neighborhoods and police beginning on July 23, 1967 after a raid at an illegal drinking club - 82 African Americans, and others, were arrested. Nearby residents protested and began to vandalize property, loot businesses, and start fires for five days. Police set up blockades but the violence spread - result was 43 deaths, hundreds of injuries, more than 7,000 arrests, and 1,000 burned buildings. President Johnson appointed the National Advisory Committee on Civil Disorders - they concluded that racism, discrimination, and poverty were some of the causes of the violence.1968: Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.While standing on the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN, Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed by a sniper - April 4, 1968. He was staying at the hotel after leading a nonviolent demonstration in support of striking sanitation workers. His murder set off riots in hundreds of cities across the country. Congress passed the Fair Housing act in King's honor on April 11. The Fair Housing Act made it unlawful for sellers, landlords, and financial institutions to refuse to rent, sell, or provide financing based on factors other than an individual's finances. The Civil Rights Movement, after King's death, seemed to be shifting away from the nonviolent tactics and interracial cooperation that had brought about a number of policy changes. Nonetheless, his legacy remains.What is Martin Luther King Jr.'s Legacy?The legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. focuses on his ideas on nonviolence, civil disobedience, and peaceful noncooperation. Dr. King had his faults: plagiarism and adultery were accusations levied against him with considerable evidence. But all of us fall short of the glory of God. What I am concerned about is his impact on the country. What was the legacy of his ideas and actions?Two lines, in particular, of Dr. King's fantastic “I Have a Dream Speech” in Washington, D.C. are more than noteworthy. In a portion of the speech, which seemed to be ad-libbed rather than scripted, Dr. King said, “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” This, I think, reveals the heart of the man. Dr. King marched hand in hand with those of any race and religion. Here he is invoking the long past of American slavery which still haunted the nation under the guise of Jim Crow. Where some, like Malcolm X, were threatening or perpetrating violence, Dr. King was speaking of brotherhood and sharing a common meal. Nothing could be more Christian than this. Second, he said the beautiful words that ought to echo down the halls of humanity until we come to our final reward. He says, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Racism is a scourge from the depths of hell. To judge another based on their skin color is reprehensible. I would be remiss to say that this extends also to those progressives today who insist on advancing identity and race politics. Dr. King would certainly be opposed to such racist nonsense. In his Letter from the Birmingham Jail, written during his incarceration, he begins by outlining the four steps to nonviolent campaign: “1) collection of the facts to determine whether injustices are alive; 2) negotiation; 3) self-purification [note: how often is this forgotten!]; and 4) direct action.” He saw the heinous reality of the treatment of blacks, especially in the South. And he answered with measured, reasonable action. Much of the rest of the letter then builds off of these four steps. However, Dr. King challenges us, even decades later, in his letter. He speaks of those who are a stumbling block to justice. He mentions, of course, the Ku Klux Klan but then lambasts the “white moderate who is more devoted to ‘order' than to justice.” He goes on to say, “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” The words of Dr. King would have certainly ruffled feathers back then, but I am certain that many conservatives today would bristle at hearing this challenge. Yet, what Dr. King is saying what Jesus says to us: “Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spew you from My mouth.” We have to choose a side. There can be no moderation when it comes to toleration of the sin of true racism. This brings us back to his legacy. We must act when there is injustice. But how should we act? Should we act out with rioting and violence? Certainly, Dr. King would bellow a resounding “no!” Instead, we are to gather the facts, negotiate, allow God to purify our own hearts, and then act directly. May we have the strength, in God's grace, to do so whenever we are convicted by justice to do so.Thanks for reading Will Wright Catholic! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

In 1965 Malcolm X found himself at something of a crossroads. The prominent civil rights activist, famed for his incendiary oratory prowess, was trying to start a new political movement whilst engaged in a very public split from the Nation of Islam, the black nationalist organisation where Malcolm had made his name. Standing on the stage of the Audubon Ballroom, he was all too aware that his enemies were circling. What he didn't know was how close they truly were and that his speech, to what he hoped were the next generation of fighters for the cause, would be the last one he would ever give.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem. In the decades that have followed his legacy as a leader, an orator, a thinker and an all-around badass has been well-established. Although, let's be real, there's always more to say. Dr. Biko Mandela Gray joins the conversation to discuss Malcolm X's theological development from a Marcus Garvey-influenced Christianity to following the Prophet Elijah Mohammad to orthodox Suni Islam. We get into the stories of Malcolm's life as well as the stories that animated the Nation of Islam in his day. ----------------- Dr. Gray's work operates at the nexus and interplay between continental philosophy of religion and theories and methods in African American religion. His research is primarily on the connection between race, subjectivity, religion, and embodiment, exploring how these four categories play on one another in the concrete space of human experience. He also is interested in the religious implications of social justice movements. He is currently working on a book project that explores how contemporary racial justice movements, like Blacklivesmatter, demonstrate new ways of theorizing the connection between embodiment, religion, and subjectivity.

On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was preparing to give a speech to the Organization of Afro-American Unity at the Audubon Ballroom in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. As Malcolm X began speaking, a disturbance came from the crowd, as someone began to yell. As the leader's bodyguards began to move towards the audience, a man stood up and shot Malcolm X in the chest with a sawed off shot gun. Two other men stood up and began shooting Malcolm with semi automatic pistols. As the crowd stood up with terror, the second and third gunmen fled. The first gunman, Talmadge X Hayer, was shot in the leg by a bodyguard before being attacked by the crowd. Eventually, Thomas Johnson, Norman 3X Butler, and Hayer were arrested and charged with murder. They were sentenced to 20 years to life imprisonment in 1966. There have been many theories as to who was involved in Malcolm X's death, with the FBI, NYPD, and Nation of Islam being some of the mentioned. Ultimately, it is believed that the Nation of Islam was behind the assassination. Malcolm, who was a member at one point, had a falling out with the Nation. The Nation was against the idea of integration and believed that whites were the enemy. in 1964, Malcolm seemed to have a change of ideas and began to side with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, which angered the Nation of Islam. 

Join "Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley as we discuss the case of Malcolm X, the civil rights leader who was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights, New York City on February 21, 1965. Two men were recently exonerated in Malcolm X's murder: Muhammad Aziz (born Norman Butler), 83, and the late Khalil Islam, born Thomas Johnson, who died in 2009. It appears that both the New York Police Department and the FBI withheld information that would have cleared these men of involvement at their 1966 murder trial. They spent a combined total of 42 years in prison for a murder they did not commit.NY Times: 2 Men Convicted of Killing Malcolm X Will Be Exonerated After Decadeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/17/nyregion/malcolm-x-killing-exonerated.htmlNY Times: Exoneration Is ‘Bittersweet' for Men Cleared in Malcolm X's Murderhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/nyregion/khalil-islam-muhammad-aziz-exonerated.htmlInnocence Project: Historic and Long Overdue Exonerations of Muhammad A.

L'affaire Malcolm X rebondit après un nouveau témoignage. Il s'agit d'une lettre écrite par un ancien policier new yorkais, aujourd'hui décédé, et qui fait beaucoup de bruit aux Etats-Unis. Ce document a été présenté au cours d'une conférence de presse par le cousin du policier que l'on écoute tout de suite : “J'ai trouvé la lettre de confession que Ray a écrite et envoyé à mon père. Cette lettre écrite en 2011 raconte les détails sur l'implication du FBI et de la police de New York sur l'assassinat de Malcolm X et comment mon cousin a été forcé à trahir notre peuple.” Dans cette allocution, Reggie Wood affirme que son cousin Ray, un officier de police noir avoue dans une lettre être avoir contribuer à la mort du célèbre leader des droits civiques.A l'époque Ray, un agent infiltré dans les groupes de droits civiques, se serait vu chargé par le FBI et la police de New York d'infiltrer l'entourage de Malcolm X afin de piéger deux des gardes du corps de l'activiste. Une mission dont s'est acquitté Ray, puisque ces deux hommes de confiance ont été arrêtés seulement quelques jours avant le fameux meeting du 21 février 1965. Ce jour-là, Malcolm X était donc privé de protection et a pu être abattu par trois tireurs disséminés dans la salle du Audubon Ballroom, dans le nord de Manhattan. L'ancien policier souhaitait que son témoignage ne devienne public qu'après sa mort. La missive expliquerait également que Ray a reçu pour consigne de la part de sa hiérarchie, de pousser les leaders et les membres de collectifs militant pour les droits civiques à commettre des crimes, afin de faciliter leur arrestation.Si cette lettre est authentifiée et les accusations de Ray validées par la justice, elle pourrait totalement relancer l'affaire et permettre l'éclosion de la vérité.Le porte-parole du procureur de Manhattan a d'ailleurs indiqué que «l'examen» du dossier était «en cours» et la police de New York a indiqué avoir communiqué à la justice «toutes les archives liées à cette affaire».Pour sa part, le FBI n'a fait aucun commentaire sur l'affaire. Presque 56 ans jour pour jour, l'affaire Malcolm X, une des plus grandes plaies de l'histoire récente des Etats-Unis, pourrait enfin être résolue.Crédit : Malcolm X lors de l'une de ses interventions au début des années soixante. • ©DR See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

WELL PLAYED Let's show support for BLM-LGBTQ-MOB PROTESTERS- but no support For the FACT that to GOD ALL LIVES MATTER If you are really a true support of America and a believer in God it time that you stand up; yes we are dealing with a very strong enemy; As a Christian I'm only speaking for myself I can not speak for all Christian. political correctness is something that I will not be concerned with. I will not willfully attempt to hurt anyone with my blog of language. My goal and prayers are not to be unnecessarily offensive. I aim to communicate from a posture of grace with God's guidance also has to acknowledge that the gospel is inherently offensive in nature to many because they cannot or choose not to accept the true gospel of Christ and the true word of the living God. I'M NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL! Wake up big corporate, NFL, NBA, All major sports you're being manipulated by modern day Al Sharpton and Jesse Jacksons you're being political correct just to say we are in support of you and reality you are just scared. Aka #BLM  let us be real half of these individuals is only going on hearsay and truly never experienced German shepherds dogs being released on them, or fire-hoses turned on them, however BLM  are not progressing they are regressing  going backwards, we may again find our schools segregated. many of them do not truly know American nor black history: Shaw 54th Regiment Memorial defaced during protests: The 54th Regiment Massachusetts Infantry was a volunteer Union regiment organized in the American Civil War. Its members became known for their bravery and fierce fighting against Confederate forces. It was the second all-black Union regiment to fight in the war, after the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry Regiment. But it was defaced by #BLM, aka the democrat's black militants.   February 21, 1965: In New York City, Malcolm X, an African American nationalist, and religious leader, is assassinated by rival Black Muslims while addressing his Organization of Afro-American Unity at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights. How can BLM when some of the leaders have white spouse or intimate partners, I guess their lives doesn't matter. And you have young children barely out of diapers speaking of being respected to get respect you must give respect. The problem is not cops shooting blacks but blacks shooting each other," Where is Al Sharpton on that? Where was Obama on that?" Are black leaders ignore black-on-black crime? Just asking. Did you know That a 20-month-old child was killed, a 14 year is fighting for his life, a 16-year-old killed, a 17-year-old killed thank you BLM/LBGTQ and coward politicians this is on you: not law enforcement. Also, politicians are paying for private security via taxpayers' dollars, but you want to defund the policed That In 1860 there were almost 500,000 free African Americans—half in the South and half in the North. Free blacks were among the first abolitionists. They included John B. Russwurm and Samuel E. Cornish, who in 1827 founded Freedom's Journal, the first African American-run newspaper in the United States. Black support also permitted the founding and survival of the Liberator, a journal begun in 1831 by the white abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Probably the most celebrated of all African American journals was the North Star, founded in 1847 by the former slave Frederick Douglass, who argued that the antislavery movement must be led by black people. However, In America's Civil War, two and a half million men, most of them volunteers and most of them white, fought to eradicate (destroy completely; put an end to) slavery. We tend to forget that amazing, altruistic (showing a disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others; unselfish.) fact.  Around 1844, Harriet married John Tubman, a free Black man, and changed her last name from Ross to Tubman. The marriage was not good, and John threatened to sell Harriet further south. Her husband's threat and the knowledge that two of her brothers—Ben and Henry—were about to be sold provoked Harriet to plan an escape. Harriet had an open-door policy for anyone in need (key word anyone) In 1863, Harriet became head of an espionage and scout network for the Union Army. She provided crucial intelligence to Union commanders (MG Henry W. Halleck (1862–1864) GA Ulysses S. Grant (1864–1869) about Confederate Army supply routes and troops and helped liberate enslaved people to form Black Union regiments.  Is BLM going to destroy this history as well? Maybe BLM should add another M on BLMM=Black Lairs Making Money on the deaths of blacks by picking and choosing where was they at when a black police chief was killed trying to defuse the issue or the young boy that was killed yes the list goes on now BLM  is trying to capitalize on The case of Elijah McClain, an unarmed 23-year-old Black man who died after an arrest by Colorado police last year, is receiving renewed attention amid protests over the death of George Floyd.  However, what about Xaviyar Lawrence Sturges, — A teenager who died after he was shot during a Juneteenth celebration at an Aurora park, he was not shot by the police. But this seems not important to BLM. Then you got all these athletes that disrespect the American flag (but they still taking the money) that many died for to protect their freedom for all races. Most Americans think the Democratic party as progressive, and forward thinking. However, it never was that way. The truth behind the Democratic party is one of racism and corruption; the party condoned slavery, started a civil war, opposed reconstruction after the war, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynching, and fought the civil rights act. Democrats formed the KKK. The Ku Klux Klan is responsible for killing 2,000+ black and white people of the Republican party. (that's a fact) National sentiment gathered to crack down on the Klan, even though some Democrats at the national level questioned whether the Klan really existed or believed that it was a creation of nervous Southern Republican governors. Many southern states began to pass anti-Klan legislation. do your research America!!!  I KNOW THAT MY Standing for Christ and the truth of His Word is countercultural and is bound to offend others. HOWEVER, I SIMPLY will not be politically correct. But truth and grace must go hand in hand.   Numbers 6:24-26 New King James Version (NKJV) 24 “The Lord bless you and keep YOU. 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to YOU. 26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”'

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2020. A poignant and nuanced portrait of a Dominican teenager's arranged marriage and immigration to New York City in the 1960s. This audiobook includes an exclusive interview between author Angie Cruz and narrator Coral Peña. Fifteen-year-old Ana Canción never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she must say yes. It doesn't matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year's Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. But at the bus terminal, she is stopped by César, Juan's free-spirited younger brother, who convinces her to stay. As the Dominican Republic slides into political turmoil, Juan returns to protect his family's assets, leaving César to take care of Ana. Suddenly, Ana is free to take English lessons at a local church, lie on the beach at Coney Island, dance with César at the Audubon Ballroom, and imagine the possibility of a different kind of life in America. When Juan returns, Ana must decide once again between her heart and her duty to her family. In bright, musical prose that reflects the energy of New York City, Dominicana is a vital portrait of the immigrant experience and the timeless coming-of-age story of a young woman finding her voice in the world.

American black leader Malcolm X assassinated. Malcolm Little was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska, one of eight children. After years of family tragedy and a troubled youth, Malcolm found himself in prison, where he proceeded to educate himself. His reading influenced him to begin following the Nation of Islam’s (NOI) leader Elijah Muhammad. By the time Malcolm left prison in 1952, he was a devoted Muslim and member of the NOI who’d discarded what he called his “slave” name for the name Malcolm X. He became a spokesman for the NOI, whose message of empowerment for black Americans increased the organization’s membership from 500 to 30,000. (The surge caught the eye of the FBI.) Malcolm X became disillusioned with Muhammad and the NOI when he learned that the leader he revered was having sex with six different women, behaviour that went against the organization’s teachings. He left the NOI to create his own organization and embark on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. Malcolm X returned from that journey with a message of harmony for all races, not just African Americans. However, leaving the NOI left him with many enemies and on February 14, 1965, attackers firebombed his house. Although his pregnant wife and their four daughters escaped unharmed, a week later, tragedy struck again. On February 21, 1965, while speaking to a crowd of supporters in Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom, Malcolm X was shot dead by three members of the NOI. He was 39 years old. A few months after his death, his wife Betty gave birth to twin daughters. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with human right activist Malaak Shabazz, who is the youngest daughter of Malcolm X. With February being designated Black History Month, she has been traveling to many events which have provided information and analysis on the life and times of her father. She has just returned home to New York from Washington, D.C., from the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, where there was a screening of the new documentary "The Lost Tapes: Malcolm X". This documentary will begin airing on TV February 26 on the Smithsonian Channel. Next up is Los Angeles for the Pan African Film Festival, where on February 9 there will be the first of three screenings of the documentary film "Malcolm X: An Overwhelming Influence on the Black Power Movement". This highly acclaimed film, directed by Thomas Muhammad, had its public debut in December at the the African Diaspora International Film Festival in New York. It features original interviews with veterans of the civil rights and Black liberation movements of the 1960s who discuss Malcolm X's influence and participation in these struggles in the South at that time. Then it is back to D.C. for two performances on February 22 of A. Peter Bailey's play "Malcolm, Martin, Medgar". She is the narrator of this imaginary and contemporary encounter between Malcolm X and civil rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers. A. Peter Bailey was one of the closest associates of Malcolm X at the time of Malcolm's passing in 1965. We spoke with her by phone Friday. "Most people," she said of her father, "just think he was just here in New York or Brooklyn, when he was all over the United States, as well as London, France, Africa. "So, I was raised as a global child. He was an advocate for the African diaspora on a global level. "And I think these two films, and many others that are going to be coming out, will show that he was an advocate for the African diaspora." Documenting and disseminating accurate information on this history is especially essential in today's era of Trumpism with its open promotion of racism and white supremacy. One area of that history, however, that has not yet been particularly thoroughly well-documented is Malcolm X's role and influence in the martial arts. His autobiography goes into detail about the importance he attached to training in the martial arts. After his passing, his widow, Dr. Betty Shabazz, made sure that all of their six daughters had some training in different forms of martial arts. We thus discussed the need for some type of media project documenting Malcolm X's influence in the martial arts in depth. We also discussed Malcolm X's emphasis on reading and education, the key contributions of Dr. Betty Shabazz, the setting up of the Shabazz Center in New York on the site of the old Audubon Ballroom, how there will also be more events for Black History Month in which Malaak Shabazz will participate which will be announced shortly, and much, much more.

Malcolm X, the Black liberation leader and former minister of the Nation of Islam, was assassinated during his address at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, N.Y., 52 years ago today (Feb. 21) at the age of 39. Tonight we just want to highlight some of the works of brother Malcolm X. And  we will be playing a short segment from the highly imaginative, thought-provoking, factual, highly probable theory probing films from SHABAZZ PRODUCTIONS.  

We have reach the 50th anniversary of brother Malcolm X death. So in this broadcast we want to highlight some info surrounding his life and assassination. Synopsis Born on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska, Malcolm X was a prominent black nationalist leader who served as a spokesman for the Nation of Islam during the 1950s and '60s. Due largely to his efforts, the Nation of Islam grew from a mere 400 members at the time he was released from prison in 1952 to 40,000 members by 1960. Articulate, passionate and a naturally gifted and inspirational orator, Malcolm X exhorted blacks to cast off the shackles of racism "by any means necessary,". Brother Malcolm X broke with the group shortly before his assassination, February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan, where he had been preparing to deliver a speech.  

ON TONITE SHOW ARE HONORED TO HAVE 2 Living Legends  with us  Mr.Herman and Iyaluua Ferguson.We will speaks with Herman Ferguson who's over 90 years young, and his wife Iyaluua Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson was a dedicated colleague of Malcolm X. His book An Unlikely Warrior: The Evolution of a Revolutionary chronicles his journey from growing up in North Carolina to becoming a founding member of Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) to being an eyewitness to his leader's assassination in Harlem's Audubon Ballroom in 1965. He also helped to organize the Republic of new Afrika and was a member of the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM). As a member of RAM, Herman was arrested for conspiracy to assassinate Roy Wilkins of the NAACP and Whitney Young of the Urban League. Herman was sentenced to 3 and a half – 7 years, but he fled the country and surfaced in Guyana where he lived and worked for the next 19 years. In 1989 he returned to the United States where he was promptly arrested and imprisoned for seven years. Today he has been released and serves as the co-chair of the Jericho Movement, and as the chair of the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman reposts a commentary from May 2013 about the legacy of Malcolm X and its meaning for the martial arts and combat sports. Plus, added is a new introduction which discusses Malcolm X's emphasis on continuing to learn, adapt, and change, and how this applies to the martial arts and combat sports, especially for the reviving sport of catch wrestling and for those sports which produce repetitive head trauma and brain injuries. On March 29, 1964, at a speech at the Audubon Ballroom in New York, Malcolm X repeated what he had said many times about the importance of the martial arts: "If you're interested in freedom, you need some judo, you need some karate, you need all the things that will help you fight for freedom." That building now houses the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center, at 3940 Broadway, New York, NY 10032, where one of the many celebrations of the 89th anniversary of Malcolm's birth will take place this Monday, May 19. Malcolm X also explained the importance of martial arts training in "The Autobiography of Malcolm X", and how the values they teach are part of the overall training in values which "are vital in a person, a home, a community, a nation, and a civilization," and not only the aspect of training in self-defense. The book also discussed his relations with Muhammad Ali, when he won the heavyweight boxing championship of the world from Sonny Liston in 1964. But the type of positive values which Malcolm advocated are today often not being promoted, particularly in combat sports like MMA and wrestling, and this is discussed. So the lessons taught by Malcolm X about the martial arts and combat sports are still valid. It is up to us to learn this legacy, and to apply it to what we do today.

We are fighting for our place in the sun . . . and we will never rest until that place is secure” (Brother Malcolm X May 19, 1925-Feb. 21, 1965). On the eve of the tragic murder of a man whom Ossie Davis, called “our Prince,” El Hajj Malik El Shabazz was killed as he stood speaking in Manhattan at the Audubon Ballroom, in front of his family, friends, numerous witnesses and of course enemies, in the San Francisco Bay Area there was a People's Tribunal which looked at government surveillance as well as police brutality, and how to make the government accountable. Also on the eve of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz's murder, we had the opportunity to speak to a surviving freedom fighter, a spiritual child of Brother Malcolm, Robert Hillary King, whose life exemplifies the resistance Brother Malik inspired world wide, a resistance to tyranny and oppression exemplified here in California and Wisconsin, as well as in Tunisia and Egypt and Libya. King whose tenth anniversary just passed, February 8, 2011, speaks about the recent and exciting news about Albert Woodfox's case, and by extension Herman Wallace, the three men collectively known as the Angola 3. He also speaks about recent travel and upcoming appearances such as the screening in Washington DC Film Festival (Feb. 2 to March 2, 2011), Wed., Feb. 23, 2011 with director Vadim Jean of the film, “The Land of the Free,” which tells the story of these three men: Robert Hillary King, Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace, together known as the Angola 3. The film is narrated by Samuel Jackson. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, The Human Rights Watch Film Festival is screening "In the Land of the Free," at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, 701 Mission Street (at Third Street), San Francisco, CA March 31, 2011, 7:30 PM, (415) 978-ARTS.

Today is Malcolm X or El Hajj Malik El Shabazz's birthday (1925-1965). It is also the birthday of his friend and activist, Yuri Kochiyama (May 19, 1921), who met Malcolm X in the 1960s when she invited him to her apartment to meet Atom bomb victims who were touring the US. The meeting in her small apartment went well and this was the beginning of a friendship which lasted until his fatal shooting in the Audubon Ballroom, April 21, 1965. We are also joined by two artists, Tosin Aribasala from Lagos and Jean Pierre Simon from Cameroon. We'll play music, talk about Malcolm, black power and yes, the African roots of Argentinian tango.
