(20/52) Necessary

In tribute to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)

May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965

 

It's Malcolm X Day this Sunday coming so I wanted to use this week's 52 entry to mark the occasion and pay respect to a personal hero of mine. He was a shining example of turning your life around, speaking truth to power, living every day as though it is your last and refusing to 'know your place' and buckle under; a man who believed in going out and fighting for what is yours by right, rather than waiting for the man with the foot on your neck to decide he wants to let you up.
