The @ShabazzCenter introduction to the virtual #MalcolmXDay tribute was very well done. ❤️🖤💚
One small point of correction, our beloved elder, Dr. Molefi Kete Asante (@Molefiasante) is still very much alive & breathing 😊

Fortunately for us, he remains one of the most charitable elders, when it comes to nurturing, and mentoring the next generation of Malcolm X’s; and we thank the ancestors that he is still here with us 🙏🏾
For those of you who are not familiar with Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, @ai_philly will be hosting him for a virtual fireside chat, this Sunday, May 24, at 3pm EST.

One of the most amazing things about working at the National Voting Rights Museum in Selma was meeting random, interesting people. Folks would often just wonder into the museum and have fascinating information or artifacts from the Movement. #MalcolmXDay
One of the greatest example was this man who came in and told us that he was in Selma reporting on the Movement when Malcolm X came to speak. For those who don’t know the story there was a bit of happenstance that led to that visit. Bro. Malcolm wasn’t originally scheduled.
He was in Alabama to speak at Tuskegee Univ and SNCC organizers heard he was there and pleaded with him to bring his message to Selma where the Voting Rights struggle had heated all the way up - that is both the organizing AND the police terrorism.

“I believe in Islam. I am a Muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of Islam. It just teaches us to believe in Allah as the God.” - Malcolm X #MalcolmXDay
"Never have I experienced such sincere hospitality & overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors & races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad & all the other prophets..." Malcolm X on Hajj to Mecca, 1964: #MalcolmXDay
