Apparently Malcolm X was a burglar before he became an activist - Bruce Schneier quotes an interesting piece of security advice from him in Beyond Fear: leave the bathroom light on at night, especially if you are not home - "The bathroom is the one place where somebody could be, for any length of time, at any time of the night, and he would be likely to hear the slightest strange sound."

Good documentary on him last night. Not surprising he was such an 'angry young man' having his father 'allegedly' pushed under a bus and disected in two and the Police doing nothing about it. |

Malcolm X was a fine orator and highly eloquent so the book vividly describes the young Malcolm's upbringing as well as the years when he became "Public Enemy No. 1". NC Penguin |

Re: Anniversary: Death of Malcolm X
Just a thought here, but why is Black History Month so important ?
Can they not celebrate their history anytime of the year they choose ? |
