💭 REFLECT ON MALCOLM'S WORDS

"I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand under its weight..." - Malcolm X

As we honor the centennial of his birth, we remember that Malcolm's message of self-determination, human rights, and dignity for all people remains as powerful and necessary as ever.
