Thank you for this helpful take on Malcom X. I watched a movie on his life recently and felt the same degree of shock by its radically different view. As a child of the 60s-70s who grew up 3 hours outside Detroit where race riots had occurred, I’d heard he had advocated violence and felt turned off from learning more. It’s wild how severely skewed that perspective was presented. After viewing it, I was grieved. Thank you for this opinion. I look forward to reading your next article in this series.
