Malcolm X-- March/April 2006

Who was Malcolm X? What does the X mean? What did he really believe? We'll use his own words to tell his story, and it's quite a story. We'll start with having you take a front-row seat at his funeral and listen a moment to Ossie Davis's thoughts about the man gunned down just days earlier. Then, we'll travel back in time to the Ballroom where the assassins didn't even wait for the speakers to finish their talks. But, more important is your "walk" with Malcolm on his road from Michigan to Massachusetts to New York and beyond. You'll read his words and notice how his thoughts evolved with each event. Here's your chance to meet a man who was not afraid to speak his mind and not afraid to change his thinking as his experiences opened new worlds to him.
