Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965, today would have been Malcolm X’s 86th birthday if he were still here.
According to Westport News, Malcolm Lateff Shabazz will deliver remarks about his grandfather’s legacy at the Wiley H. Bates Legacy Center in Annapolis tonight. The event was organized in part by Carl Snowden, the civil rights director for the Maryland attorney general’s office. Snowden says it’s important that Marylanders understand why Malcolm X continues to be so influential in the black community.
Malcolm X was an advocate for the rights of African Americans. He has been considered one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history. In 1998, Time even namedThe Autobiography of Malcolm X one of the top ten most influential nonfictions books of the 20th century.
Clutch Magazine reported that before his life was taken by the bullets of assassins, some of whom may have never been brought to justice for their crimes, Malcolm X was on a breathtaking journey building new organizations and planting the seeds of a global Pan-African movement to help address the crisis faced by blacks in urban America.
To celebrate his life, let’s look back on a few of his most famous quotes (thanks to Brainyquote.com):
A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man’s problem just to avoid violence.
I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.
I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.

I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.
I don’t even call it violence when it’s in self defense; I call it intelligence.
I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against.
If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.
