A portrait of Malcolm X’s parents, Louise and Earl Little. They were a progressive and philosophical couple who instilled a sense of independence, pride, and resourcefulness in their children. Without their sacrificial efforts to raise conscious human beings, the world would not have known Malcolm X.

TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONING OF THE VIDEO, READ MALCOLM’S WORDS BELOW TAKEN FROM THE CHAPTER “ICARUS” WHICH IS FOUND IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
An amazing percentage of the white letter-writers agreed entirely with Mr. Muhammad’s analysis of the problem—but not with his solution. One odd ambivalence was how some letters, otherwise all but championing Mr. muhammad, would recoil at the expression of “white devils.” I tried to explain this in subsequent speeches:
“Unless we call one white man, by name, a ‘devil,’ we are not speaking of any ‘individual’ white man. We are speaking of the ‘collective’ white man’s ‘historical’ record. We are speaking of collective white man’s cruelties, and evils, and greeds, that have seen him act like a devil toward the non-white man. Any intelligent, honest, objective person cannot fail to realize that this white man’s slave trade, and his subsuquent devilish actions are directly ‘responsible’ for not only the ‘presence’ of this black man in America, but also for the ‘condition’ in which we find this black man here. You cannot find ‘one’ black man, I do not care who he is, who has not been personally damaged in some way by the devilish acts of the collective white man!”…
Do you realize this is one of the major reasons why America’s white man has so easily contained and oppressed America’s black man? Because until just lately, among the few educated Negroes scarcely any applied their education, as I am forced to say the white man does—in searching and creative thinking, to further themselves and their own kind in this competitive, materialistic, dog-eat-dog white man’s world. For generations, the so-called “educated” Negroes have “led” their black brothers by echoing the white man’s thinking—which naturally has been to the exploitative white man’s advantage.
The white man—give him his due—has an extraordinary intelligence, an extraordinary cleverness. His world is full of proof of it. You can’t name a thing the white man can’t make. You can hardly name a scientific problem he can’t solve. Here he is now solving the problems of sending men exploring into outer space—and returning them safely to earth.
But in the arena of dealing with human beings, the white man’s working intelligence is hobbled. His intelligence will fail him altogether if the humans happen to be non-white. The white man’s emotions superseded his intelligence. He will commit against non-whites the most incredible spontaneous emotional acts, so psyche-deep is his “white superiority” complex….
Historically, the non-white complexion has evoked and exposed the “devil” in the very nature of the white man.
What else but a controlling emotional “devil” so blinded American white intelligence that it couldn’t foresee that millions of blacks slaves, “freed,” then permitted even limited education, would one day rise up as a terrifying monster within white America’s midst?
The white man’s brains that today explore space should have told the slavemaster that any slave, if he is educated, will no longer fear his master. HISTORY SHOWS THAT AN EDUCATED SLAVE ALWAYS BEGINS TO ASK, AND NEXT DEMAND, EQUALITY WITH HIS MASTER.
Today, in many ways the black man sees the collective white man in America better than the white man can see himself. And the 22 million blacks realize increasingly that physically, politically, economically, and even to some degree socially, the aroused black man can create a turmoil in white America’s vitals-not to mention America’s international image….
I had not intended to stray off. I had been telling how in 1963, I was trying to cope with the white newspaper, radio, and television reporters who were determined to defeat Mr. muhammad’s teaching.
I developed a mental image of reporters as human ferrets—steadily sniffing, darting, probing for some way to trick me, somehow to corner me in our interview exchanges….
When I was asked…I’d carefully review what led up to it….
Or I might copy a trick I had seen lawyers use, both in life and on television. It was a way that lawyers would slip in before a jury something otherwise inadmissible. (Sometimes I think I really might have made it as a lawyer, as I once told that eight-grade teacher in Mason, Michigan, I wanted to be, when he advised me to become a carpenter.) I would slide right over the reporter’s question to drop into his lap a logical-extension hot potato for him.

Why can’t our kids just be kids? Why isn’t it enough for them to be happy human beings? When I read this part of your piece, ” God, I love teaching. Seriously. But sometimes I wonder if it’s the best venue. I wonder if what I really love is mentoring and writing.” I thought, “Yes! I could have written that exact thing!” I love teaching, but what I really love is forming positive relationships with students, helping them see their strengths, and growing along with them. I don’t really want to be the one in charge because that power structure is false anyway. And it only works if we can trick students into believing it, which means tricking them into giving up control of their own lives, and that’s not what I’m in the business of teaching to do.
I have a brother and sister in chemistry class. Both are what teachers would traditionally call “A Students”. One is a critical thinker - very good at using what has been learned to figure out something new. The other is a creative thinker - very good at grasping the overall application of a…

In the New World slave control was based on the eradication of all forms of African culture because of their power to unify the slaves and thus enable them to resist or rebel. Nevertheless, African beliefs and customs persisted and were transmitted by slaves to their descendants. Shaped and modified by a new environment, elements of African folklore, music, language, and religion were transplanted in the New World by the African Diaspora. Influenced by colonial European and indigenous native American cultures, aspects of the African heritage have contributed, in greater or lesser degree, to the formation of various Afro-American cultures in the New World. ~ By Albert J. Raboteau. “Slave Religion: The “Invisible Institution” in the Antebellum South”.
