Growing up in the inner city of Chicago with gangs,
violence & hopelessness, there wasn't much much 2 look
up 2 on the positive spectrum.

up 2 on the positive spectrum.
Options were extremely limited while diligently
searching for something truly impactful until one day
getting my hands on a small paperback
Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley
at a local thrift store....
A thrift store. Really? (lol)...

things surely happens for a reason;)
This is when things began 2 open up with the ambition 2 read about history, culture & identity. Amazed at how such a book about a young man with a troubled past while facing the odds during the 1960's could make a massive impact.
One thing that stood out about Malcolm was his motivation 2 teach self while incarcerated making him one of our prolific thinkers of that time.
If he could achieve such a task,

then what's my excuse?
From that point, life drastically changed knowing despite
the condition in which lived, perseverance
with a bold fearless approach would
pay off 2 be so much more.
Knowing this, it become my duty
& responsibility 2 ensure that his life is remembered with a greater appreciation.

Hmmph...I wonder how would things be today
if someone like him ever existed for he wasn't
just any ordinary man....he was..
X-man.
